Nice to see another BRZ with C-West lip! Post up a few of your pics in the C-West lip thread - there's a lack of BRZ pics there: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...26#post2512026

Well the snow is over took off the winter setup and waiting to order new wheels, could not live with the stock color of the wheels.

A buddy I went to college with started his own plasti-dip company, and I wanted to see what it was all about.

They do high end jobs and just about everything. The color is vintage gold and I think they did a great job. If your in Chicago land area , check them out. great customer service and great prices. www.chicagodipped.com

Installed the SPC LCAs without the toe bushing.. and the toe was crazy! Not sure how you guys run without the bushing? It felt like I had 4 wheel steering. I've heard the alignment shop can dial it in a little bit.. but not sure how.




So I swapped the OEMs back on and I'll probably sell the SPC's. Honestly the camber wasn't that bad, even with Sportlines.

Then I installed the Nameless Axleback + Stock Midpipe to replace the Top Speed Pro1 Catback.



The Top Speed was way too loud with the UEL header. I do miss the deep bass it had, but I guess that was the problem. Super droney. The Nameless + UEL is nice and subtle.



The Nameless fit sooo well. Never had an exhaust fit like that. Nice rusty midpipe back on the car

You don't need the toe bushings in most cases, you just need to adjust the toe. I highly doubt anything will prevent an alignment shop from getting the rear toe dialed in if you put the rear arms back on.

If you weren't planning on taking it to an alignment shop (or doing the alignment yourself) then there was no point in buying the arms, IMO.

Thanks for the feedback, it just seemed so far off that I can't imagine the bushing not being required. Maybe it is possible.
I was going to get it aligned in a month. The car drove really weird so I swapped the OEMs to be safe

Yeah if you weren't going to get it aligned right away it would just chew up your tires. They're an easy install so you may as well wait.

FWIW I settled on -2.0 camber in the rear and my toe adjuster is pretty close to centered.
