WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 1756 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

It was such a beautiful day I washed and waxed her. Now every little dent and scratch is magnified. I had to step back and appreciate what a beautiful cool car this is. It is a classic in every way. Nothing compares to it. I get compliments all the time and can only respond with with thanks. But they're just stating the obvious, this is a cool car. It is now and always will be. I would include a picture but it just wouldn't do it justice. Now back to the meds

Installed Stoptech rotors and pads, only got the fronts done. Still need to get the rears replaced. Took a bit to get the original rotors off smh

Don't forget that the bolts holding the aluminum skid plate that have a 12 mm head are the right size to thread into the rotors to push them off the hub.

I bought some bolts for it, but didn't know that. Thanks for info

Good choice on the rotors!

It's just a sticker sadly, JDM points will wear off.

I bought a set of those a few years back, along with some braided stainless lines. Good hardware all around. Never really had a problem with the originals, to be fair, but the replacement feels noticeably better when you have to put your foot in it.

Only issue I've experienced is they do get a little squealy when they get wet, such as after a wash or a lot of rain, and only as you're coming down to that last 1 or 2 mph to a complete stop, where you're not really putting much pressure on the pedal (unless you're panic stopping). It takes a little time and a good amount of application for them to dry off and quiet. I'm curious if you've encountered the same behavior.

Running the same stoptech pads/rotors and can also confirm the squeal.

I've also noticed a lot more brake dust compared to the PP pads/rotors but overall performance is much better imo.

Installed RCE Tarmac 2 coils with RacerX front endlinks and SPC rear LCAs. First impressions - very comfy ride! None of that constant shimmy, the suspension seems very settled and much more confidence inducing in corners.

I had it set to what RCE recommend in terms of height, so it does look a bit 4x4 unfortunately. I'm at a point in my life where I actually prefer ride comfort over looks so while I *would* like to lower it more, I definitely do not want to do so if it will negatively affect the ride. So if anyone can chime in on this with these specific coils, that'd be great.
