Installed tS bumper vents.

Any info on where I can get those knee pads for the center console? Local Subaru dealership doesn’t have any in stock

Our bearings suck. What are your wheel and alignment specs? Or are you just putting a ton of heat into the brakes and cooking them? Sounds more like the latter, if you're tracking.


A 5x114.3 swap would beef up your failure point, since they have beefier bearings IIRC... or, since it's a probably a heat thing, maybe titanium brake shims and/or two-piece rotors, to keep heat from from cooking that grease into ineffectiveness. Two piece rotors would probably cost more than the 114.3 swap, but they sure would look cool and do a ton to reduce rotating/unsprung mass. I ran DBA 5k's on my spec B and loved them.

What route did you take with the hoses? Did you happen to take any pics during the install?

-3.2F, -2.2 rear and zero toe. Running BBK with two piece rotors already. Stock wheels on the street with 10mm spacers in the front to clear brakes. Track wheels are 17X9 +38. I don't get it, I am not doing anything different then anyone else.

I think it is a conspiracy by "big bearing" to make me spend more money on bearings so they can take my money and keep me down.

FT86SF or you can order them through the dealer. They also pop up on eBay. I bought mine from a member here.

Sounds like you're pretty far down the path. At a certain point, they do become regular wear items like pads or rotors. Big bearing wins again!

I think I have a set of titanium shims from TiC kicking around, might be worth a shot.

Today filled the tank 105th time and got my second highest MPG (36.9). Tracking with Fuelly. Average on Fuelly and the dash is also very close for the 25k tracked. Happy BRZ owner

Ordered a new bumper to be repainted and eventually clear bra and ceramic coated.

how do we convince the rest of the population to start using clear bra's?

Ended up being a bad spherical joint on my toe arm. Much easier fix.
