How do you like the STI Pink Springs? Looks good with the 18" wheels, but do you have any pictures of the car with the 17" wheels on with the springs?

Was considering doing these for my 2018 PP BRZ once it comes in. Don't know if I want to bother with a full coil over set as I don't think I'll be tracking the car too often, and I want to kind of see what the SACHS dampers have to offer anyway. Would like to tighten up the wheel gap though.

Thanks! Really enjoy them. Not jarring or too low. I always get worried when lowering that I'll screw up the suspension hence going with the STI Pinks. Check out my build thread in my signature - I have a before & after with the springs installed with the OEM 17" PP Wheels. It's a mild .6in drop which was exactly what I was looking for with the not-so-ideal roads of Pittsburgh.

I see. I didn't have very good luck fitting a bayson R lip on my car, but I think i'm just going to get a splitter down the road.

I sold my 13' FR-S last week. Goodbye sweet chariot.

Purchased an 18' Lexus RX 350 F-Sport. I needed the ability to transport large boxes for my online business, so I needed to get an SUV of some sort. -sigh-

Drove to Pittsburgh...got a salted.

Sounds good, I'll check out the thread. I was thinking no more than an inch drop, since I need to run winter tires as well and those generally have a higher sidewall. Not sure if I could find 16" tires that would fit over the Brembos.

And yeah, the roads up in Oil City, where I'm at, aren't any better. So many potholes to and from my way to work down in Boyers, that I'm surprised my Forester has held up, not to mention what will happen when I trade it in on my BRZ.

I was going over pics of the 86 I drove in Japan and noticed the tips stuck out a lot more. So I ordered JDM exhaust tips for my tS.

Missed the fedex delivery that had my Nameless exhaust. A very sad day. Although it always makes me happy when I can do normal car things.. like load up 2 kayaks (inflatable, but still fairly large) in the trunk.

You'll be so happy with the Nameless. It sounds great.

removed my grimmspeed intake to revert to stock. want to give drop-in + inlet pipe a try. yall are gonna kill me but i actually missed the sound tube. the grimmspeed sounded great with the box open but thats not the optimal way to run it and screws with the MAF readings. closed it performed well but was not very loud

New wheels 18x9.5 wrapped in 225/40. Not mad at the look with factory suspension.
