My BRZ has turned into a budget "racecar". Originally bought as a daily driver that was to remain stock, but was never daily driven and got modified before I even drove it.

I wanted springs and shocks (Bistein B8 with RCE Yellows) instead of coilovers as I have no experience with coilovers and was worried I would be daily driving mine in winter. I have a fairly healthy understanding of alignment and suspension stuff but am no where near what some of you guys are. I also opted for Raceseng CasCam plates because I felt the stock steering felt rather light and knew bolts wouldn't get me enough camber for what I wanted to use the car for. I also sprung for some adjustable rear LCAs to add some camber to the rear and fit my tires better. My biggest regret was probably going with the Eibach sway bars. The rear seems too stiff even on the softest setting for what I want, the front is ok.

Suspension was probably the most important for my car and build, but I am very budget limited.
