Got the rear driver side of my bumper hit by some rando today. That's what I did to my BRZ. What's crazy is, I didn't feel it when it happened. So now I gotta sift through my dashcam footage to figure wtf happened.

I'm dumb.

What are the pros and cons of a break booster delete. I see the aesthetic benefits but ...?

Brake feel and bias adjustment.

TRD USA or JP? Because the JP is the same as the STI one, up to and including the price

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you. My car is completely stripped down to the frame pretty much.

I'm still in the process of rewiring the entire car in tefzel wire, mil spec connectors, etc.

Either way, I did a similar setup on my ek coupe many years back, and I love it.

I’ll probably still be here lol. Considering I’ve been in this community for nearly 10 years, it’s almost like a strange digital home.

Sad news. I was very close back in December, but my wife and kids talked me out of if. I’m glad they did. But, you gotta do what you gotta do. Hope you find another fun ride.
