Has anyone cracked their master cylinder by bracing it like this?
I haven't heard of one breaking/cracking. I have seen them bend shock towers on Hondas though.

They will improve feel, but won't make the car stop any better IMO.

Tires -check
jacks - check
helmet - check
FRS - check
tech inspection - done
tools - check
lunch money - working on it
car payment - ugh!


I'm getting my car around the 30th, first track day should be June 9th (that may change if I drive the car up to PA the weekend after that to visit some friends.. money would go to that instead of the track day). Trying to decide if I want to get new tires first or not.. definately need to order some pads this week or next

Great pics and good looking parts (the bracing is all so sexy)! congrats!

One request... Could you follow up in say, a month or two, with the AOS results this car. Ive seen some turbo cars fill them up very quickly, Ive seen other cars where it looked like it was not doing anything. Naturally the driving style would effect the results, so if you can include descriptions after the time as past that would be great!

For casual Sunday track races, even the OE supplied 17" with Stock tires are plenty fun! This car really shines on the raceway with proper gearing, just the right amount of grip to teach you to drive better, and balance and composure with confidence like no previous Toyota/Subaru. Speeds may not be lightening quick, but man does it put a smile on your face from cheek to cheek!!!!

If you own a FRS/BRZ, just go out and have fun on a raceway! It's born from 18 months of development at Fuji and Nurburgring! The stiff in-town ride will be totally justified, once you experience this car on the track. There are lots of novice sessions at each part of the USA. I'll even sit with you and teach you all that it takes, safely and enjoyably! Lets go!

That would be my FRS in the middle, lowered and with a FiveAxis spoiler.
