i noticed your rpf1's are 17x8 +42....I was planning on doing 18x8 +35 wrapped in 245/35 do you think they will fit without rubbing? do you have a lot of space left? I'm dropped on sportlines too.

I absolutely loved the Brakes section of your build thread. Hilarious how the rotors turned out with those pads. It's to be expected but those pads proved well enough!

Was this on stock suspension?

Also, where did you order the rear bumper protector?

Yes but with several hundred pounds of stuff in the back of the car.

Protector is actually for an impreza, from my Subaru dealership for 50 or 60 bucks. It's not a perfect fit but close enough. The BRZ one in Japan was over 200 bucks at the time....

IMO, that looks like the perfect ride height, I just need to find several hundred pounds to put in my trunk...lol

Thanks! I'll call around and see if they have them in stock...although I have an FR-S :happy0180:

Bump! What's new with your BRZ?

Are you interested in instructing/driving at the SouthEast 86 club Atlanta Motorsports Park event sometime in November?
