Hey bro! If you look at the BC Racing UK website, here's the specs.
It is different from the BRs.

I know the Japanese started the trend of the door list of stickers etc. i was just making a point of what I am seeing on these forums in regards to 86/FRS/BRZ style.

I just happened to think the current trend of it in the states is ruining some great looking cars.

Having a "steal me" list going down the side of your car is used for show cars showing support to those that helped build the car and for ricers trying to emulate said show cars.

Asian/Pacific regions developed Bosozoku Style cars (google it so I don't clutter up this thread) and yet you think N. American car culture likes over flashy builds? lol

Also - was it a N. American designer or an Asian/Pacific designer that developed the Rocket Bunny Kit? <- Cause that is a traditional clean style kit if I've ever seen one.

The point has been countered.

To the OP - Your car looks fantastic but then again you get the best options possible for this chassis. Yes, I'm jelly!

I ordered subaru outback foglight housings which takes H11 bulbs. These housings will take more heat compared to the stock flimsy ones. The lenses on these housings are beefier and I don't really know why they made the stock ones while the subaru ones pretty much bolt on. Weight savings perhaps. The housings arrived the other day and I got around to installing the H11 fogs into it.

The housings need a little modification to bolt on. You need to trim these little hangers so it will clear the metal mount we have on the 86.

Everything pretty much bolts on, took me around 10 mins to bolt everything up. Since I put the H11 HID bulb in the stock housing, the light output was not as focused because the housing was not designed for an H11 bulb. With the outback ones, which are designed for the H11 bulb the output is really good and focused. Here are some light output pics:

Ground cutoff:

Stock Housing with HID: (for comparison)

Light Output Fogs only: (beam is more focused and solid)

Headlight Only:

Headlight and Fogs:

Output against a wall:

Got the lower control arms this week and had them installed at the local alignment shop. Been waiting on this part so I could correct the rear camber on my car since I did a sizable drop with the coilovers.

Installing the arms:

Installed:

Alignment:

Before and after specs:

Some glamor shots:

How the tires sit after alignment:

Any suggestions on the specs? 2deg of negative camber still too much for DD? I wanted less negative camber, but the shop mechanic told me he was worried that the tires might rub the fenders. Is that possible? TIA!
