Thanks! Yup, stock lug nuts and wheel locks. Unless you meant to ask if I'm using the stock studs after the spacers were put on. In that case, the spacers have their own built in studs.

I will def post the dyno results once I tune.. I'm growing anxious waiting but the mods I've done have really made a difference. I did notice a difference with the pulley...not in horsepower but that the motor revs a little more freely. Another few mods you may want to add to your list: Perrin rear shifter guide and also their trans support. Both are cheap but they firmed up the shifts a lot! I also did a billet pro shop short shifter to really make the shifts precise. All are very reasonable in cost. I did the cusco front and rear strut braces too and the front has the integrated master cylinder brace. I know you have the same suspension and these braces work really well with the Eibach kit. The front/rear OS combo only cost $400 shipped from riverside, CA. I did the sway bars from Eibach also but that's more of a preference thing. Just a few suggestions of mods that I really noticed a difference and think are well worth the price. They're all cheap so you can do them one or two at a time without hurting your pocket.

I've heard about the drone with the Greddy. I listened to tons of clips and read all the reviews and I decided on the Perrin. I love the sound, the black looks sick with the black lip kit and diffuser on my car, and their whole system is great quality. I chose the hi flow cat on the front pipe and the resonated Catback so it doesn't get obnoxious with sound or fumes when the header is installed. Again, just a preference thing..I haven't heard of any drone issues either. The guys at Perrin really make good products for this car and his blog is super easy to understand and full of great knowledge. I try to support businesses like that just because they're so few and far between these days. Just good dudes.

My goal is 200 whp after all mods and tune. We'll see how that feels and if I still have thoughts of the Vortech kit after...

Sorry bro, not trying to thread jack you here...just wanted to share the few mods I've enjoyed and maybe give you at least some ideas or a starting point to get you going. You have made great choices so far and the car looks great! Just by looking at your last few rides I know you have good tastes and the BRZ will be even hotter!!

Thanks a lot for all the tips! All those mods you mentioned definitely sound tempting. 200 whp definitely sounds like a nice goal, and I hope you get there with your mods. After looking at the Perrin exhaust a bit more, I might end up getting that also. I'm not in a hurry to get the exhaust though, so I still have some time to think about which one to get. Whichever exhaust I get though, I'll also go with a hi flow cat setup. Thanks again for all the tips!!

Just got my first oil change done today! I installed the Greddy magnetic oil drain plug. I'm really curious to see what it looks like at my next oil change. I also just made an appointment at @Evasive Motorsports on the 28th for a dyno run. After that I'll finally install my drop-in filter and inlet hose

Haha thanks!! I do want to get an exhaust soon, I'm just not sure which one. At first I really wanted the Greddy Evo3 since I've had the Evo2 on a previous car and loved it. But a few people on here have told me that it drones pretty bad between 3-4k RPM. So I'll need to hear the exhaust in person first.

Crap...I work every single tuesday night. Since I work 6PM-6AM, I don't think I'll ever be able to make that meet. Thanks for the heads up though.
