FRS/BRZ is #3 - behind their first drive in the 2015 Mustang and the Miata. However, there's a little "How to build your $30,000 FRS/BRZ" which contains this:
"In our road test... we concluded that "the BRZ's balance of attributes needs no tweaking." So if you're going to mod the car, it's best to proceed with caution."
They then recommend:
Base Price $25,455 ($935 less than BRZ)
Michelin PSS tires $664
JDL EL Headers $1099
SPC front camber bolts $42
Front end alignment -1.7 degrees $150
Greddy Evo3 cat back $860
Injen intake $287
Tune and flash $800
Kartboy short shifter $255
Total $29,612
I think I'm going to email them and tell them they should have added the ESC instead of the headers and cat back...  |
Nope, they should make the follow switches.
OFH instead of JDL. Save $500.
ESC in place of intake, shifter, and catback.
OFT instead of ECUTekflash. That save about $2k which gets you great sound, no dip, and quality parts, and a system designed to work well together. The savings is enough to buy the ESC and dual dump.
