Have you looked at the whiteline rear camber & bushing kit or any of the front lower control arm bushings? I have those on too and the steering and feel is excellent.

Today, got an oil change & tire rotation, Redline MTF in the 6MT and Motul Gear 300 in the diffy while I was at work today Shifts so smoothly...all I need is to put the rear shifter bushing and positive shift kit in and I'll be golden!! Thanks for the inspiration @tintumz22 I've gotta stop being so lazy.

You got that right sir! Planted but W/ the stock tires setup I felt like it made the car more want to be tail happy but manageable. The positive shift kit and perrin rear bushings gave the car more noises but because it is RACECAR! You get to hear more of what is going on. A little bit more NVH but tolerable and how it should be to feel more connected to the car (transmission). You have to put those already man! I'm tellin you. you will be GOLDEN! Got cuts and all that but all good cuz I saved up on labor. can use that extra cash to add for tires or fluids needed for the upcoming track event. haha!

I'll get those ones next but maybe after the upcoming track. haha

Been following the FRS for 3+ years and now that I finally have one, I feel like I am complete. Really love my new car. I am in Fremont BTW.

Actually, looking closer I notice there's some sort of film on the inside of the windshield. Call me crazy but for a $225 detail job I kinda expect perfection. Meh.
