There is a shop in Louisville that will slap a turbo or super on your BRZ. But man, Louisville...

I haven't seen big enough gains from exhaust or headers yet still to go that route. FI first for me.

Import performance in southaven can do install but they don't have a dyno. You need to use dyno speed for tunes

Josh Elem at Extreme is and has been the best tuner around here for 10+ years now. Only problem is he's a douche. He tuned my crx 9 years ago and I wasnt too fond of being around him and through out the years he hasn't changed much. Go to DynoSpeed off Covington Pike. A buddy of mine Forrest is the tuner there. He's been doing it for 5 years now and has really gotten good at it. He's also their "tuner" car guy and actively drifts his 240 so he's pretty keen on the import world

You'll love your car lowered, I think mine's at the perfect height now with the Sportlines. I've got an extra set of Eibach ProKit springs if anybody wants to lower an inch. Good price too.

Tracey's Foreign Car at Marshall and Monroe (downtown/midtown) did mine. Mainly because they're a block from where I work and they've done any work on all my imports for about 30 years. Did a great job, there's an alignment shop next door, so it was all handled within reach. Got my tires there too. Ended up with SPC lower control arms and SPC adjustable toe arms in the back. Might not have been needed but their there if the need arises.

Got my TRD body panels painted and installed by Auto Wreck Experts, down the street from Tracey's. Finished up today, and holy shit does it look good! I guess I should have some pics, but Tracey's is putting the quadtip exhaust on tomorrow morning, so I'll wait. Should be able to post some this weekend.

I've had a big F'n grin on my face all day, lol.

Fuck I bet you have. Anxious for the pics. And I hears that the pro kit rode stiff. Is that why you went with the other?

The Sportlines are a little stiffer than stock. I don't know about the ProKit, I never opened the box. But I suspect they're no stiffer than the Sportlines.

I bought them both, deciding at the last minute which one I wanted to go with. I thought initially that the Sportlines would be a good height, but while waiting on a car to put them on I started doubting my sanity. So I bought the ProKit, hedging my bets. When the car finally came in I just said screw it, I'm going for the bigger drop...and if I don't like it then I can always put on the ProKit.

Well, turns out I like the Sportlines just fine, so I've got the ProKit sitting there with nothing to do.

Pics when I can.

So is there anyone closer than http://www.dynosty.com/ who can do what they do? I need more than a Dyno, I want a quality super or turbo install job from someone who knows what they are doing.

PICS!

WooHoo! Shot a few quick pics this morning...first time I've got to see the completed car during the day. Not cleaned up yet from all the body shop dust, but it's not terrible. Still have the little TRD emblem to attach in the center of the front spoiler, but other than that it's done. Enjoy!
