Candlejack's BRZ Limited Build thre

Got busy with some Niteshade yesterday. No more orange up front.

Waiting for lugs so I can stick my other rims on. Tint tomorrow morning.

Didn't take long for you to make a build thread Jack!

Is that a Corgi in those pics above?

Rims went on today. Blue lugs! I love it more than I thought I would. Needs more low though. I'm thinking Eibach but I can't decide if I want Prokit (1.5") or Sportlines (2")--I don't feel like a 1.5" drop is enough...

Nice! Those are the wheels I had on my Tiburon, you go 35 offset or 47?

Pro Kit is about an inch sport line is 1.5. Any more than that you'll need coils, camber plates, rear lower camber arms, etc. The alignment will be way off at 2". The other thing to keep in mind is the rear axles on this car aren't the sturdiest - throwing the geometry off that much will put real stress on them.

Nice, I have a corgi too. The new wheels look great by the way.

Offset is 35 if I'm remembering correctly. I had them on my last car, just had to get new lugs to put them on the BRZ.

I don't feel like a 2" drop would call for that much suspension work... I mean get some fat friends and you can probably get the car at a 2" drop based on the weight alone. Then again I'm new to the car so I still need to do a bit more research before I drop it.

I need to find a lip kit too... I'm thinking CF but it's just so expensiveeeee
@Lonewolf is yours a Pembroke too? PICS GO! and thanks!

I'm having some weird title-issues with my car. Bought May 8th but I still haven't gotten any title for the car yet...and my temp plate expires on June 10. I paid for title fees at the stealership, payed tax on the car, etc. I have that all in writing but I still haven't received a title in the mail so I can actually go get my MI plates for the car. I bought it from a stealership in Columbus, OH...
I'm calling them first thing tomorrow to see what's going on. I might have to have them mail me another temp plate if they forgot to submit my title to the state. I'm assuming no one else had these weird issues...this is my first time buying from a stealership...

This is going to turn into a dog thread...

I used like 3. I wanted that orange GONE. I went pretty heavy so the light output at night is pretty low--but I feel it's a useless light anyways (I actually got severely flamed for that comment on the "What did you do to your BRZ" thread). I could buy some high power LEDs to throw in there but honestly I'm not worrying about it. I'll have to take some night shots to explain what I've got going on.

Yeah $60 for plastic is just gross. Niteshade FTW.
