WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY? - Page 320 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Smelled my clutch for the first time the other day,
Was visiting the gf in st. Catherine's and found a NIGHTMARE of a hill for any manual driver.
Very steep with a 4 way stop at the top... So stop and go multiple times. Had cars on both sides of me and had to use the e brake method for the first time, worked well but I held the brake to long when ****head sunfire was on my ass. Oh well, all is good.

Ordered my Bridgestone Blizzak WS70's with a set of 16 inch steelies. Tire Rack ships from Indiana so they should be here today. Bring it, winter. Pictures once i throw em on.

Adjusted clutch pedal height so it is now even with the brake pedal. Much easier to drive smoothly. At first, I had it slightly lower and it just felt like it would engage as soon as I even thought about lifting my foot.

Bought some Michelin X-Ice 3's with some steelies. Hopefully I'll have them before turkey day.

I ordered some WS70's with Focal F9 rims from Tire Rack (couldn't stand to have steels on it for 5 months of the year) and they called me and told me that their techs found factory defects on 2 of the rims. One had horrible bumps and drips from overspray and the other had a chip in one of the spokes. The guy ordered 4 additional ones to make sure they get 4 that are in proper condition. He said they would overnight them to get them to me on the original order schedule.

Taking about customer service, it is quite refreshing. I think I will order from them again.

Swapped out the OEM spoiler for a Carsmo spoiler.

Dropped the OEM spoiler screw into the trunk lid during the process, couldn't fish it out with a magnetic pole. Any ideas on how to get it out? It rattles when I drink, and I need to solve it!

Those are the most beautiful rims i have ever seen...I need them in black on my GBS.

So, your thoughts (and anyone else more knowledgeable about this), stock height/suspension you think I can fit 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear without any camber?

I cant lower my car because I live on a hill and I only have 1in clearance as it is with no one else in the car. But I want 18-19in rims so badly!

they'll fit no problem, but they'll poke out a bit in the front and rear without camber.
