spike021's BRZ Adventures

[Clipdat]

They are springs that would replace the stock springs (SACHS dampers stay), so it would lower the vehicle 20mm and improve the handling.

More importantly, take a pic of your car with the sun shining on it, instead of the side in shadows. It looks great as is, but hey, ramp it up.

Most importantly - your car is parked, but looks as though an unseen magnet is pulling it skyward. Need I say more?

And, of course, congrats!!!!

Haha thanks! It was a pretty rushed photo so I wouldn't need to use dealer lot pics I ha taken. Going to try out a friend's DSLR with decent lighting and angles.

Oh gotcha. Thanks! I'll try to keep an eye out for them and maybe buy them at some point.

Is something like this able to be fixed at all or am I screwed?

It's a great excuse to get new wheels

Haha nah. These are the special performance package wheels! They're a little more unique.

I don't plan to replace the wheels for a while so I'll either need to live with this or get it fixed eventually justbsucks that it'll probably cost $100 or more :/

I will be installing the RCE yellows here shortly. I will report back when I have impressions. Next I will be installing some G-Loc pads into the Brembos. I need more initial bite our of these suckers.

And glad you finally have your PP BRZ spike. I know you waited long enough.

As mentioned before, you may want to hold off on repairing the wheel for now. Accidents happen, and you may ding one of the other ones before you fully get to driving it 100%. Good luck either way. Those wheels and brakes look so good on white. Congrats.

Thanks, that would be awesome! What're the better G-Loc pads for? Just better brake pads for street driving or mixed use?

Thanks dude! Been a long time coming haha.

Yeah, for sure. More just keeping in mind that I can just get it repaired eventually if I really want to

Thanks, man! I really like it too. I confess to looking back as I walk away after parking and checking out my window every 20-30 mins to make sure it's still there

Love it man! Looks great. I still look back at my car after I park. Even though I've had mine for a month and a half, I'm still in disbelief that I own the car I've been lusting after since high school. Its a great feeling. If you want to do the LED conversion for the car (trunk lights, license plate lights, reverse lights, door puddle lights) I've got a bunch of T10 LEDs I can mail out to you for free. I ordered a 20 pack and only needed 8.

Your car is still awesome, I've had mine for 3 years and it has a few dents and scratches that I've learned to live with so you'll be just fine.

Dude that would be totally awesome. I can PM you my work address to send 'em to if that works? USPS hates my apartment, lol.

Thanks man! Yeah. I'm usually the type of person who puts a case on the phone, etc., so it makes me feel pickier knowing I already screwed up a bit. But I don't mind it as a battle scar for sure.
