You're not running a spacer up front? What do you have the camber set to up front? Photos of how much it is poking? I have b14s and have been really wanting to run the same spec wheels but would rather avoid a spacer...

And wow so much done in a month! Car looks great!

Thanks asdf, no spacer up front. There is little poke, I won't know my exact camber settings until I get my alignment on Monday.

LOL, the reason why I'm trying to get all my mods done as soon as possible is because of my schedule pretty much. I have my kids starting lots of extracurricular activities in the next coming months. I figured if I get everything I want done to the car in the next month or so, I can devote all my extra time outside of work for family life.

A really good reason my wife lets me get all my mods now.

You've done an amazing job with the mod selection on your car. Looks superb with the sbc finish!

Went a different route with my suspension today. Ordered a set of ST coilovers.

The Bilstein PSS B14 coilovers were amazing but with more aggressive neg camber, more than 1.5 degrees up front running a 9.5" rim with a 40 offset it will be very close to the spring, a little too close for comfort for me so I switched out. I didn't want to run a spacer.





Out with the PSS B14's, in with the STX.



The ST Suspension STX coilovers ride very nice, no noises so far, seems to damp road imperfections very well. Very smooth!

First off, let me mention that I'm very new to the BRZ chassis.

Do BRZ's generally have a rake like that? I've got KW V3's on mine and it appears to me heavily raked forward.

Not sure ka-titties, I've only installed the coilovers with the factory setting. When I measured the fender to the ground, it's 24.5" all around at the moment so technically it should be pretty even..

Those NT03's compliment the WRB perfectly. Everytime I see that color I love it.

Thank you sir! I narrowed it down to some 57xtremes in SP spec and NT03+M in SBC... decided to go a little more bling this time around.

Got an extra set of wheels/tires. Getting 255/35/18 Hankook Ventus EVO 2 mounted tomorrow on these babies.

Rays Gram Lights 57Xtreme SP Spec, 18x9.5 in Matte Graphite. Machined spokes to save weight. I weighed one and it comes in right at 20lbs.




Looked like UPS kicked one of the boxes across the country, good thing the wheel inside was undamaged.








And the center caps I purchased. Gram lights 57Xtreme Ver. 2

Had some extra CF wrap and decided to do my mirrors.





Also switched back to my SBC NT03+M's.



Picked up an ATEQ Quikset TPMS programmer, switching between my two sets of wheels is an absolute breeze now. Works perfect on our cars.
