Affectionately dubbed the GR-Z

[jonbatz01]

Hi All,

​been awhile since ive posted in any forums but here we go.
Coming from a long history of AE86s and Gen 1 86; the plan was to buy a GR86.

However, due to poor wait times, stupid prices and terrible customer service, i now drive a BRZ.

Some of the earlier photos of the car when i first got it.

The coilover of choice;
HKS Hipermax R
9kg Front 10kg Rear.

I ran RSR Best-i on my Gen 1, loved it to bits, very good for the street but a tad to soft for the track.

I’ve heard good things about the new Hipermax R and decided to give it a go.

The mods are coming in thick and fast.

Here is the list so far:

Subaru WRX GC8 4 pot Calipers
Endless CCRG Pads all around.

HKS Hipermax R
KTS Rear Upper Camber Arm
KTS Rear Toe Arm
Hardrace Lower Control Arm
Cusco Rear Seatbelt Harness

Sard LSR middle height Wing

Blitz NUR Spec R

Shakedown and first track day in the BRZ.

Brakes were getting too hot and rotors were fried.

Purchase some lightweight Alcons CRB343 with slightly bigger 2 piece rotors.

Hopefully these increase stopping power and last for more laps.

Not sure if the Gramlights 17s would fit with the new brakes so I went out to get some 18s ��

New wheels are TE37SLs in 18 x 9.5 +45 and powdercoated them in Nardo Grey/ ARMs colour.

The BRZ as it stands today.

I sure hope I'm not the only one who noticed this in the background.

Eagle eyes!

1. How do you like the Alcon BBK?

2. Why did you choose those over others?

3. Were you able to maintain front to rear bias?

Thanks
