That's why guys like cars. You can do that stuff. When you try to do that to a woman shit hits the fan, unless you find an emotionally scarred one that likes her man telling her what she can and can't do, not that there is anything wrong with that ^_^

Going for looks? Okay, i understand that.

But the people who order KW V3 before they even get the car really make me question if they are just following the crowd or have no idea what their doing.

Don't get me wrong, i want Blisten shocks and RCE springs, but i already know how my car is. I know its limits and all of its flaws.
so knowing right off the bat that the stock tires and suspension are not suited for what you want the car to do using an aftermarket option is completely fine, i 100% knew the stock parts wouldn't work for what i wanted to do so they were junk to me. A factory car is almost always going to need coilovers for me to like it looks wise so i go in knowing that its gonna have to be done.

Geez, i wouldn't call it a satisfied buy at all.
I'm satisfied but for auto x purposes, I was thinking about it. I may not even do it. I might just go cat back and rims and tires... but for right now.. nothing will be done to the car.

My favorite part about this is justifying it over not wanting to buy winter wheels/tires and then buying a vehicle that will need another set of tires for the winter....

Brilliant!

And $10k more expensive.

Honestly I think the FRS was just too hyped for it's own good, so everyone ignored the things that they really wanted from a car like power and interior space. Now that the honeymoon phase is over, everyone's replacing them with the non-sports cars they truly wanted.

Yep

I test drove a new STi (because a sales rep begged me to) and was happy to get back in my BRZ, The new STi is a lot of things but a sports car it is not.

I did leave that drive thinking a WRX station wagon (aka levorg) would be the *perfect* daily driver for ~75% of Americans, myself included. Not that I'd trade my Moxxi to get one.
