I assume for a air strut setup? Good God how low do you go!!!! I have seen some stance FRS cars dragging the ground they were so low. Drop spindles would turn the car into a submarine...... Just saw the OEM part of your post. lol I saw drop knuckles and was like wow and had to reread the post.....

So these would give you drop without further suspension mods?

I want GMG to make a bolt-in 4 point roll bar with cross brace and harness bar. As similar to the 997 GT3 RS or club-sport bar as possible. aka FIA legal w/o destroying my car.
I always used Autopower in all my Rx7s, but I want something a little better fitting for the BRZ with no cutting or drilling required.

I'd be interested in functional side vents that look OEM, and a quiet single exit exhaust that doesn't drone.

Another vote for quiet light single exit exhaust and proper integrated diffuser.
Dry sump oiling system

I would also love more options for a proper functional diffuser and not just extra bits that make just drag. Another vote for the vented fender inserts too.

Fender inserts have two big caveats. It's a part which desirability is very individual taste dependent and that already has lot of aftermarket options available, including vented ones.
As for extra small ideas .. from different center console for fitting OEM-ish looks i preferred (&installed) PZ435-10340-00 (RHD PZ435-10341-00) armrest. Didn't like one bit for it though, that it opens to passenger side, not to back. Would love to see some hinges kit to convert it opening to back.

1) universal badges that are quality
2) quality weighted leather shift knob
3) oem armrest with a cup hole(s)
4) stock shiftknob upper and lower replacement inserts cnc machined
5) rear diffuser
6) replacement single exhaust hole rear bumper
7) something to make the engine bay look nice

What sound are you looking for, is their anyway to compare it too something. I assume a 2-1/4 to 2.5 inch piping. I will use my stock auto frs for fitment and sound clips. I might even spring for the dyno.

I will try this week to take some of ideas to manufactures to see what we can come up with as soon as I have some sketches and ideas that everyone agrees too. We will probably have to group buy a lot of 10 to get this started. If your all in I will try to keep quantities as low as possible for group buys. Lets get some ideas locked in and agreed on I'm pumped to get this off the ground.


PS anyone's help to get this rolling would be appreciated. Like posting sound clips, designs ect. to get a design finalized.

FRS: imho something of simplest minimum without any sketching would be something 1:1 to stock rear lower black unpainted part, just with exhaust cutouts closed (but readied for cutting out where as needed depending on exhaust configuration). Step above - same as above, but with rear light cluster moved above a bit, for more space for potential centered single cutout. That's if one decides on single piece part that can be easily DIY customized for any exhaust combination. I wouldn't incorporate diffuser right away in this design, for those that simply want OEM-ish but neater looking single exhaust rear bumper, and don't want to have bumper lowered than it is (for example i use fact that rear bumper is higher, to go over curb) except maybe some mounting points/bolt holes to bolt on extra diffuser additional part. There are already many body kits/rear bumpers/diffusers that make car/rear bumper lower. Would be nice to have one that is OEM practical for daily driving.
