I want 18 inch wheels which would technically raise the car up a bit. I suppose I could get eibach pro springs like you did. would lower it back to stock and fill up the wheel gap quite a bit. Now to decide on which wheels to get. Would love volk te37s but I definitely cannot afford that haha.

I bought this car to be a cheap, reliable, fun car. No 18's for me as the tire cost almost doubles! Lol. They do look nice, though

We're the spacers expensive? Im cnsidering them over upgrading the wheels at the moment

Since I just did the 20mm, they were $95. Well worth the money

I pulled the trigger on varrstoen 18s. Should be on the car in the next couple weeks. Shopping around for cheapish yet quiet tires. If that even exists haha.

So, when I picked up my springs, I got to see @johnb831 BEAUTIFUL BRZ. One of the things I noticed was that he had a ProClip phone holder. Thing looked super handy and put the phone EXACTLY where it needed to be.

After talking with him a bit and looking at lots of pictures, I finally got one. I was an idiot for waiting so long! This thing is worth it's weight in gold!! LOVE IT!

Thanks again John!!

Just wanted to show you a quick pic of the new wheels. Suspension is definitely needed and is next on the list. Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1388094871.473090.jpg

Love my car quiet, but I HATED how small and recessed the stock tips were. While expensive, the perrin tips were EXACTLY what I was looking for to add an aftermarket touch to the rear end of the car. I'll post better pics eventually! I'm in love!

Stock

And the perrin

Perrin catback is actually quite mellow

. That being said. I love my full perrin exhaust. Sounds like a tame race car:P

I am actually looking at just getting the tips as well, can you see the t-bolt clamps at all from the rear? Looks great from the pics, would love to see more

You can see them from certain angles, not going to lie, but you do have to look for them. With the quality and sex appeal of the tips, they tend to draw your attention away from the clamps. Here are a couple more pics for you during the day.

Another simple, but very functional mod…..hood struts! Courtesy of @johnb831! Thanks again, buddy!!!

Time for some fluid. Just hit 15k miles, so I figured I would swap the transmission and differential fluid out for something better. Obviously, I'm not going to post for EVERY fluid change, but I wanted to post what the drain plugs look like mostly the first time drained.

Transmission drain plug

And differential plug

And the lovely cabin filter
