Did a bunch of stuff at my friend's shop today.


Picked up my SSR GTX01s (17x9 +38) that I ordered over a month ago, put on a set of Nankang NS2Rs (245/40, 255 too thicc), installed Tanabe Revel coilovers, put on a set of clear Valenti tail lights. Also got my Tomei UEL headers but that's on hold for a later time.



First impressions coming from stock: Steering is going to take some getting used to because now it feels super responsive in the corners, coilovers behave almost too well on city streets and feel about 90% similar to stock despite having a spring rate of 8K front and back, it's comforting to have decent tread on the rear tires again.

Not on the newer BRZ's. They snap in with a hundred plastic tabs.
