@DSOmegaX, car is lookin' hot, bruh. I wish you had kept the BRZ badge with that STI badge.
I actually looked into those wheels, too as they came in a bit better size
Do you have ASGA wheels as well?

I never heard of such wheel manufacturer and curious to know about their reliability and endurance compared to say, Enkeis. Or do they compare to Forgestar and Rotas that are prone to cracks and damage?

I would love the ASGA wheels in Gunmetal or Gloss Black!

I actually have a new BRZ badge on hand. Just deciding whether I actually want to put it on or not.

Rota wheels haven't been prone to cracking in a loooong time from what I've researched. There's even a picture/video of a dude riding his Subaru on two wheels at a show, rolling sideways, on Rota wheels!

I do not have these wheels. I haven't decided between them or a set of Enkei wheels from Japan, not 100% sure on what I want to do. They're an excellent price and size. I might want something a bit more rare, though. Or I will most likely purchase both since I need a set of wheels for racing this summer anyways.

I would try it out for a bit. Although, you're trying without for a bit, too, so that's fair. I just think if one is going to have "STI" on their car, others will look at it and think "STI what?", yet if "BRZ" was there it would be more like, "Oh! BRZ STI!" haha That's how I choose to justify it anyways. I like to educate people as I drive around and keeping "BRZ" on there makes more sense to me than keeping "SUBARU" on the car since everyone knows the Subaru logo.

For your STI Springs, when you ordered them, it's around $400 for all 4 springs (front & back), correct?

Yeah I am a little hesitant to order my parts yet because it keeps dropping, but in a few months it could be much more. Thinking about pulling the trigger or go with the Eibach pro springs. But gotta keep it hella JDM right?

Eibachs are always a good choice. Really just depends how much of a drop you want. I had eibachs on my gti and loved them.

I had them on my 99 Integra DB8. Absolutely loved them as well paired with Koni STR struts.

A dumb question

Does the STI emblem for ti different from STI emblem for other cars?

Since I see ebay selling OEM STI emblem for half of the price for japanparts.com

Thanks

Yeap, there can be differences depending on the model and year. I believe all the tS cars use the same style emblem though (it has a full black backing to it). Depending on where you want to put the badge will dictate which emblem you want to get. This is because they actually make the emblem to match the exact curvature of where its suppose to be placed. So for the BRZ tS, the emblem comes curved so its 100% fitment to the top left area (comes with a template to play accurately). If you need one that's flat backing, you're probably looking at getting the legacy or forester tS emblem assuming thats the style you want.
