I suppose it was technically a 6.5ft ladder since it was folded in half

Couldn't fold the seats down since I had my daughter with me, tried shoving it in the trunk and it almost fit.
Barely fit in the front seat.

I got to work and finished installing:

-Racecomp Engineering Tarmac 2 coilovers

-Raceseng CasCam top mounts and 2" bump rear shock tops

-Whiteline adjustable sway bar end links

-Essex/AP Racing Sprint big brake kit

-Porsche 911 GT3 brake air guides.

I haven't had time to really dial in the ride height aside from just eyeballing thread counts on the coils yet but I will do it later along with an alignment. The install was pretty straight forward for everything, just took my time and did things at an easy pace. The shop with lift, air conditioning and every tool imaginable are a tremendous luxury and helped everything come together more efficiently.

The ride home was just as expected. Firm but very responsive and forgiving while not feeling bouncy or too stiff. Haven't done any significant corner carving yet, but I will soon enough. I also made a few shitty attempts to bed the brakes in and failed to do so effectively. They are working fine but need to bleed them again and then take them on a late night bedding romp to really get a good transfer layer before I can really say anything justifiable about them.

More to come later...

Really curious to see what you make of those brakes and camber plates. Was looking at both those items as possible additions to my car (when I wear through the stock rotors). Minus 20lbs of un-sprung weight is a big deal-- it's the same weight savings as I got replacing my wheels (which felt like a significant difference to me). I bet the car must feel pretty good on lumpy surfaces now!

Just signed the papers today for a year old 13MY BRZ with 8900 miles on it! (salesman told me PO sold it to buy a truck of all things!), 24.5 OTD. There are two minor dings on the bottom of the front bumper and a few tiny chips around the wheel wells but looked and drove pretty nice other than that. I had to drive over 2 and a half hours to look at it and the dealership will be delivering the car sometime tomorrow.

Great deep bass sound. Really gives the back end the look it should have(and does everywhere else in the world).
