Maybe the Gialla front bumper:



and Daredevil 86:



or Leg Sport:



or Noblesse:



None compare to the original Concept:



Sorry for vomiting all this beauty all over your thread.

So no rubbing at all going over bumps or dips? Those 235/40's sit perfect in the wheel Wells with sportlines. I guess the sportlines r stiff enough to keep them off the fender wells. Looks really good

Thanks! Yeah no rubbing whatsoever. I've parked on a steep incline which tilted my car so that the driver's side suspension was compressed. Both the front and rear wheels were tucked into the fender without touching it. The front fenders are rolled from the factory and I haven't noticed any rubbing with wheels turned while diving into twisty corners.

Its settled. I'm stealing your wheel/tire/ suspension setup. Its perfect imo. Thanks for posting all the information.

HI,


What's your option for "STi - flexible draw stiffener"?


http://www.sti.jp/parts/catalogue/brz_zc6/ST20118AS000.html


I always follow your review or your setup , so want to know how you think.


It wrote this in the end "For under cover inner mounting, position of the damper unit has a differentleft and right." (I use Google translate)
I am not quite sure the meaning. Will this match the LHD or only match the RHD?



It also mention that " I'm developing on the assumption made
Kyochaku STI flexible tower bar and (part number ST20502AS000)"


However, I use Grimmspeed strut tower bar, not STI one.

Do you think that still worth or good idea to combo these two together?


(I know that you also use TRD one)



Thanks a lot.

That piece looks like the V-brace that connects the front strut towers to the firewall, right? You should look for close-ups of how the mounting brackets bolt to the strut tower to see if it might impede with the mounting of your Grimmspeed strut bar to be sure. Pretty sure it should work but I'm not 100%. I can't comment on whether it is a functional improvement but it does seem to be unique to the BRZ (not a blanket design across other Subarus like the Impreza). I'm happy with my stock V-brace but do like when the OEM engineers parts unique to this car.

I'm debating on wheels. Thinking of either Enkei NT03+M SBC 18x9.5 +40



or TWS T66-F (still debating on size and color).





I posted polls for the TWS wheels. Help me decide!
