Nice SWP!

There is my opinion about stock brz:

1. I love this manual transmission, I love to shift it.

2. suspension is good, it is not harsh like stock GTR, but it is more harsh than Porsche cayman.

3.brake is good, but not yet been to track, I think it will be overheat if I dont change brake fluid.

4. tires..Ummmm, maybe not good, on Tire rack.com it is in grand touring level, i have no idea what is this level, before i usually use extreme performance tire.

There is a few question:

1. I think i have to change sway bar, in the corner feels not very good, I almost leave my seats, any advise about aftermarket sway bar?


2.I want change wheels to Enkei RPF1 17*9, so what tire size fits this wheel? 255/40/17 is good?

1) Strano Performance and Whiteline Performance have some good anti-sways.

2) 255 width is overkill...235/245 max should be more than sufficient with a good compound

+1. I use a whiteline 18mm heavy duty adjustable on mine and love it. solid construction. makes oem look like a flimsy twig.

EDIT: fyi I wanted to reintroduce the 2013/2014 oversteer and then some, so probably look into how thick/thin you actually want your bar. But whiteline is top notch

Advise against wheels that significantly reduce the offset... I got +35 rims and the steering feel became noticeably less sharp.
