I'm seeing a lot of 9-9.5 widths with stretched 225/235 tires. What I would like to see is what offset is needed with R-comp/200tw 245-255 tires on these widths.

There's no reason why body filler and scratch putty/primer won't fill that in. Unless that piece sees significant bending/torsion it should be just fine and won't crack. Filling it in with epoxy,...

I wouldn't even go near something as critical as the pedal with ABS let alone PLA. There's a reason why most spacers are made of machined metal. Even carbon filled nylon will fatigue and fail over...

If you have a tap and die set, clean the threads thoroughly with a wire brush and run a die over it. The end link nut came off like butter after.

They're supposed to last longer than the RS4's and yet be much faster. We'll see when real testing comes out to confirm. The price point, in Canada anyways, is comparable to the falkens so if they...

That's bizarre since the BRZ never got the revised rear bumper, only the 2017+ 86's. The rear bumper should be identical to the pre facelift models.

I wasn't a fan either until I saw them on a 2017+ 86 rear bumper. It flows very nicely with the redesigned lower bumper trim.
