13-16 vs 17 BRZ impressions after 2 weeks of ownership

@CSG Mike, since I am to planning to upgrade to a FLEX A suspension, do you reccomend also upgrading the rear sway bar to a stiffer one? If so, how thick?
thank you

With all this suspension talk ... I purchased a set of STI pinks for my '17 with Sachs dampers (PP) and I'm quite curious what the feel will be when pairing those together. I am planning the install in the next couple of weeks.

I'm thinking of also going with the STI Lateral Link assembly and STI Trailing Link set. I think the suspension is fantastic and I don't want to risk messing any balance up so I'm sticking to the STI parts

I'd be interesting to see how you like those.... I really like the ride my car has now with the Sachs dampers but I would like the option to go a touch lower...

Should be fine,

It's listed on japanese sti site as compatible to Grade GT (Sachs come standard on this grade in japan), so it's good.

that said, the 2017 Twin projectors look pretty cloudy/opaque; not sure if by design...

I know what time it is in regards to cycling lights (pretty much Light&Motion, Cateye , or Niterider produced the better lights in regards to size and light pattern) ,….. but

Isn't it a industry standard, that car HID or LED lights, cannot go greater then 1200 lumens ? I heard this number some months back, I'm not so sure how accurate it is, or if there really is a cap on max lumens a OE car can produce.

I don't care too much for lights on a bicycle because in the winter it gets kind of cold here and we are usually under the cover, of many variables.


I don't know if it is just me but being in front of the new Lexus SUV's is literally blinding at night when in a FR-S or 86. I asked the driver of the luxury vehicle and old man said it wasn't on high beam.
