When you're in Seattle (especially downtown), hill entrances can be incredibly steep and sudden. Do any of you regularly bottom out or scrape with the stock ride height?
2. Rust is a HUGE issue here (mine stays garaged for the winters). What's the big regional car care issue for the Pacific Northwest? I know it's not rust just from the number of rust-free Tercels I see when I'm in town.
Thanks!

Hello TommyFive and welcome to the PNW channel.
I think your stock height BRZ will survive most Seattle streets without scraping.
Car care issue? Besides molds, mildews, mosses, and waterbugs growing all over and in your car ..... car care is a piece of cake. Why? Because it doesn't make much since to wash it because, for 9 months of the year, .... it will be raining before you finish the wash job ....
