2014 BRZ Limited A/T - Manila, Philippines

- Once a month highway trips 50kms only, highway speed limit is only 100kph or 62 mph
I want the car to be perkier but retain all oem comfort in sound and feel, avoiding any ECU adjustments, and no suspension changes because road bumps and ramps here are high.
Plan:
1. Lightweight wheel and hankook ventus - I plan to stick with stock diameter so maybe Enkei rpf01 with 17x7.5 +48 and 215/45/17 tires
2. FD 4.56 cusco or 4.88 weir
Thats pretty much all really! My only question is 4.56 or 4.88 on the FD. Not sure which is best based on what i described as my driving conditions. Im thinking 4.88 because ill never see any speed above 70mph anyway and i dont track much. But will 4.88 be too rough and jerky in city traffic? Or any other noise? Or will the 4.56 be not much of a diff from stock 4.10?

Stock MT engines run at ~3000 rpm while cruise around 70mph. With increased FD, it will be proportionally higher than 3300 rpm at 70mph. Do you want that? To me, 3000 rpm is already a bit high at cruise speed. I am not commenting on city driving since the drivers who like low-end torque will also like that rough/jerky ride. If you are one of them, that is what you want. Again, I prefer having the torque at high rpm just like the twins designed to be.
