So far, no. I only did a short shake down run to make sure everything was tight and quiet. I'll throw it around some more tomorrow and test it out. I only went with a 16mm, and I have it on the middle setting right now.

I do, however, get a wheel airborne when i go up my parent's driveway:

Well, to her credit, it is deeper than it is tall. Of course, that's not saying much.
@RedLeader, cool stuff, are you running the stock front bar? I'm pretty torn over what to do right now. All I know is that it needs *something* (in addition to a better driver). My dilemma is that I can do front or rear but not both in stock class. I'm getting a fair bit of entry understeer right now, often caused by too much time on the loud pedal prior to the corner, and I'm wondering if a rear bar might improve rotation without causing too much power oversteer. The 16mm Whiteline looks like a great choice for a rear bar. However, I definitely need an alignment first before screwing around with the rest of the suspension.

Nice is that the whiteline sway bar too? I'm waiting on mine to arrive, I went with 18mm and the adjustable end links. I am also waiting on my sub frame bushing kit and positive shift kit as well from them.

I'd prefer a 17mm bar, but most are in even numbers (at least on japanese cars, I've noticed). I would do a rear bar on your BRZ, especially if you intend to run some negative front camber and sticky tires.

I take it my coil overs are gonna push me out of stock class? and what class would I be in with modified suspension?

I was going to wait to tell you this because I thought it might depress you, but I think you might not be stock. I know you had work done to you engine, and that work might have moved you to different class.

Are you going STX or are you prepping to Street Prepared.

STX or Street prepared. It depends on what other stuff you have done.

I think your talking about me and yeah I figured but I didn't know the classes when I signed up so I just picked C stock because that is where all the others were under the results tab. I have a throttle body rebuild to better handle my intake and I will hopefully have the coil overs on by the 2nd for the next event. And I want to do well but as long as I'm having a good time I could care less if I'm in last place.

Good attitude. I am in the same situation because of how my car is currently set-up. Essentially, I am underprepared for the class, but I still have fun.

What exactly did you have done to the throttle body? Actually, specifically what have you changed or modded, and specifically what was done? I will try to figure out your classing for you.

Most of the original stuff I did is gone because of all my warranty issues.

I have new screens in the throttle body for more air suction. I have an Injen intake, a greddy Exhaust, and next week I will have coil overs.

The piston rings are back to stock because of the warranty issues and with the issues they are probably gonna stay that way so I have titanium piston rings that I will be selling.

I was looking at novice 2 STX and that seems like a class that I could be competitive in with less than a second improvement of my current times.

I just talked it over with the wife and we are not gonna put the engine parts back on out of fear of messing up the warranty. But I am putting the coil overs on and from what I read the throttle body screens still fall in stock class it says change or delete but the coil overs put me into STX.

Cool. Hopefully I will be in STX soon also.
My wish list is short:

Coilovers or aftermarket shocks and spings

intake/exhaust maxed to STX

17x9 wheels w tires
camber plates

front lower control arms and

rear adjustable upper control arms

and a tune
