I just finished a weekend at the track and the vast majority of the weekend warriors that have cars *faster* than a BRZ choose not to use much of the "faster", as it results in very large budgets for consumables, and very expensive repair bills when things go wrong.
As for aero, what handling problem are you trying to address? Lower drag for higher top speed or more grip at a certain end of the car? Often, those are totally different objectives, and adding functional aero for downforce will quite likely make the car slower in a straight line.
Have you given any real thought to safety? (like the gross imcompatibility between a Schroth rally 3 and a Hans - one is a toy, and the other not so much)

joking aside, I do have some track experience with my previous cars but since I've just purchased the BRZ (about a month ago) I didn't get a chance to take it to the track yet but I am already scheduled for couple track events here in PNW (April 18th and 19th). I plan to attend 15-20 HPDE this season as I did last season.
As for the mods, I am not currently trying to address any handling problem with the use of aeros but instead I am just trying to get the feeling of others' opinions about the aero mods and their past experiences on their effects and benefits (if any)..I do know the fact that adding aeros (as well as the larger tires) will make the car slower on straight line but I am getting my Kraftwerks to overcome BRZ's power deficit so high speed corner stability is what I am after..
and yes, I have given some thought to safety but I didn't extensively search to see what is compatible with what (maybe I can stick to a collar foam and seatbelts and cg lock for now) so I think it'd be better if we stay on subject for now but thanks for the hint
