A little update since my last post:

1/30/2017 : Acquired rear upper control arm
2/3/2017 : Acquired Legsport duckbill spoiler
2/4/2017 : Acquired Todoroki widebody fenders

Cant decide if I want to keep the full Varis Arising II kit. The fornt bumper, rear bumper and side skirts are just sitting in my living room.

Also debating on selling my watanabes, only for the right price. Have a new setup coming for the spring, sourced these through our shop. (Hint: 3pc works)

I'll get more pictures once I get everything dialed in, painted, and installed. Been a long winter.

One of my favorite builds, keep up the good work!

I've decided to keep the Watanabes, and just have 2 sets of wheels for this car, the other set being my Work Meister CR01's. Hoping that my Works fit once they come in. Tired of having chunks of sidewall fly off randomly, already gone through 3 sets of tires with my current setup.

The Varis kit is now gone, but I'm in the process of sourcing a full Chargespeed bottom line kit all around. It's about time this car sees some carbon.

YESSSS, I love the wats on your car.

2/10/2017

I have obtained a full chargespeed bottom line lip kit for the car. Will be putting on over the weekend. I'll get a few pictures going once I have dialed in the setup, looking at around -7 degrees of camber up front and -5 rear.

next up on the list is headlights and taillights. Torn between the valenti jewels and red toms. Also would like BRZ headlights up front.

Obtained TOMs taillights, 12k swift springs, and decided to keep the watanabes. Still have my new works coming in.

Here is an updated pic of the car with the new chargespeed kit. Waiting until warmer days to put on my TOMs.

2/16/2017 :

got my rear UCA finally installed after having them sit in my room for 3 months.

adjusts · 02-16-2017, 06:57 PM

rears sitting around -8 degrees of camber. fronts at -6, will likely match f/r camber once I get the todoroki fenders installed.

adjusts · 02-16-2017, 06:58 PM

with the rear UCA, I've completely stopped rubbing. previously I would go through my sidewall within a few weeks and belt would start to show. issue is gone now, just need an alignment..

People often overlook the rear UCA!

Dam, would've bought that Varis Kit had I seen this thread. Nice build OP.

update: 2/18/2017

I swapped trunks with a local member for a wingless trunk (my trunk had a TRD spoiler on to cover the factory holes). All in all, I'm very satisfied with the low profile that the rear exhibits now. next up: Todoroki fenders

Put on my Toms taillights. Also got a batch of adjustable tophats for BC/Stance/Megan/Airlift suspension. These will allow me to run the -7 degrees up front that i'll want.
