Shots shots shots
![]() ![]() ![]() Nothing new recently. I had entertained the idea of converting the front end of my car to the 2017 BRZ and was actually really close to pulling the trigger on it, but in the end decided against it. Like a lot of others on here, I really like the new bumper, especially when paired with the led accessory and front lip; however, I also like keeping my car as close to the "original" as I can be, so with that in mind, having the zenki bumper just makes more sense to me. I do plan on making an adjustment to the front of my car soon though so look out for that

I'm looking to buy STI pink springs since I like the small drop since stock height doesn't bother me and just want to slightly improve handling while maintaining the ride comfort. Did they improve handling in any way? Also, I'm looking to add the strut tower bar also. What is your opinion on the STI one, was there any noticeable difference? Anyways, waiting for your reply

![]() We do plan on having it wrapped actually (right now, we're thinking of a very light satin blue) and have some of the chrome parts either wrapped body colored or glass block instead. Otherwise my main focus this year is pretty much all Golf R related (I still have one or two things planned for the BRZ right now).

The STI strut tower bar is, IMO, the best choice if you want the benefits of a tower brace but still maintain a comfortable ride. It adds the rigidity all bars will give you, but because its flexible vertically, harsh bumps and dips won't result in sudden jolts to the steering wheel.

If you can, I would pair the strut tower bar with the flexible draw stiffener. Those two parts together will be the biggest difference for you.

I really hope you decide to just keep this car forever and never sell it. It's just to damn perfect to sell to someone who can ruin it

So after a long long endeavor I finally was able to secure a genuine tS badge off a wrecked car from Japan.
