BTW those aren't coilovers, they are STI Performance pink springs on stock shocks which are pretty good imo.

Oh right, thanks for the clarification! Everywhere I read, it seemed to mention coilovers and that the car has been lowered a bit more than stock. Didn't know it was just springs.

Would you say they are fine for the very occasional track day? Maybe once every two months or so?

I've never tracked my car but when I had that setup the car seemed to rotate a little more readily than stock during spirited drives.

If you ever move onto the STI springs + shocks combo you will definitely improve the comfort yet with more grip.

The Aussie BRZ S model inspired me to build my own STI setup since we don't get them here in Canada. This was before even the first BRZ tS came out in Japan.

Thats awesome info, thanks for the idea. Most likely keep it the way it is mainly because it's got plenty of feedback for daily and spirited driving and I don't think I'll be going track often. What is the springs + shocks combo you're talking about? A specific sti kit?

Haven't been to the track yet but it's on my to do list later this year, possibly even a skid pan or autox. I want to change the tires and the brakes before then. Oh and an oil cooler but still deciding which to go for.

I also want to keep with the sti theme and tempted to get sti calipers but that's mainly aesthetic. Adding in some slotted rotors and decent pads should be good.

You can order these stuff thru Japanparts if your local dealer is unable to import them. You can check out the parts listing on the following threads where a bunch of us STI nuts hangout

Actually your stock setup is pretty good already, just missing the draw stiffeners if compared to the STI Performance package in Japan.

That looks.. sweeeeet. But yeah hefty pricing for who knows how much difference.

Think I'll focus on getting a bit more oomph out of he car for now, UEL headers are currently my first on the list after my last service under warranty is completed next month.

Those threads look awesome, I'd love to make it a full STI themed brz without going overboard by getting every single part available haha.
