Interested to see this, had planned on getting it. He has a good discount now for Black Friday or cyber Monday.

It's pretty standard install and setup but it'd be nice to get some hi def pictures and a walk through and all I have is my iphone haha.

2014 we ran at National events as car# 8/108 spring nats was the last event on the Feals though.

Spring Nats Tour
I landed 2nd again and Lance was 11th. This event on day 1 the sky opened up as 2nd drivers were about to take their 1st runs.

2013 Nationals I was still # 8 (took 7th place) and Lance had his FRS as #2 (took 4th place)

My main concern is that I DD my car. Do either of you drive it extensively outside events? I can't find a ton of feedback from outside WRX/STi guys who also swear BCs are great. Are they a ton rougher than stock ride quality?

Ill rip them off and run CS for national events as my girlfriend wants a fully prepped car for optimal winning chance in CSL

Very interested. Do you DD you car at all? Like I said above I know these can perform, now I'm more concerned with ride quality and if I should drop money on something to fit my needs better.

People who claim BCs are good ride quality never drove on their OEM dampers in good condition.

Their damping is wild and all over the place, rough as hell. Or Stockholme syndrome.

Seems like you're alone on that one... I am not a fan of BC but I have friends that had them on their previous cars and my gf's car. They ride nothing like you mentioned.

Kido1986 · 12-03-2014, 08:12 AM

I've driven S2000s, Mazda3 (my own), Mazdaspeed3s, BRZs and a few others with them and it was the same for each. Just a difference in perspective I guess.

Is the oil cooler necessary? How about the guys who autocross in hot summer days?

Necessary? Probably not, its more of a precautionary measure.

Kido1986 · 12-03-2014, 03:20 PM

Being in 100F and hot lapping autocross runs and monitoring temps, I don't feel it's needed. I saw 102-105C in hottest days after many runs. I just used AC between runs to cool it down (the fans on the radiator both run with AC on and blow over the oil pan).

Track day, yes. Autocross, not needed.

BCs are not the worst things on the planet. I DD them on my STi before. With that said they rode rougher and bouncier than I would like after riding and driving in other setups.

Lance put roughly 27k miles on the Feals he had on his FRS the year he had it. I sent them to Odi to have them checked out before they were sold and he said they looked like new.
