Would be awesome if you could post a review of this setup after a while. Initially I wanted exactly the same setup for my car but I got Tein Flex A instead.

Changed my tranny fluid with Counterspace garage secret sauce 50:50 mix.

Installed a new steering wheel. That was nerve wracking...

Looks so good in there!!

I have the same wheel; can't say enough positive things about it.

I'm coming from a brand new 2019 BRZ Performance Pack with only 14,000km and compared to the stock Sachs dampers setup, the Bilsteins+tS springs combo has a similar firm ride. The ride comfort isn't any worse but the body control and damping is greatly improved. During large weight transfers like a slalom the chassis no longer bounces around and it stays flatter and more composed. Great OE+ setup. I have the draw stiffeners and flexible V-bars as well to complete the tS package.

I never liked the Sachs dampers with stock spring setup. It was too unstable because the rear would not grip very well. This did not give me any confidence during fast sweepers or accelerating out of a sharp turn.

Armor All Season boys!

I'm a 303 guy myself and it is for sure that time of year! Hours of detailing yesterday evening and Cars n Coffee this morning.

And I'm not sure I want to admit this but...

...anyone else see Emilio's (949Racing) latest video and go huh, maybe the Crawford BPBs are worth it after all. I've been back-n-forth several times and decided his vote counted so ordered up a set and installed them yesterday. Butt dyno isn't registering +19HP by any stretch of the imagination but in taking some of the same hilly roads I'm familiar with, torque is much better down lower and that is really all I was looking for now that I'm at about 5000' and no longer at sea level.

303 is the shit. We buy it at work by the 5 gal container so I fill up my spray bottle for when I do the inside of my car.

Today:
-Engine Oil Change
Couldn't do transmission since I forgot my transfer pump.
-Chassis nut and bolt check front to back.
-Lubed all heim joints and the top hats with WL spray.
-Checked ride height and toe. Will need to change the left rear heim on the LCA when I swap CV's.
-Started disassembling spare CV's to regrease and install. My right rear is making noise. Didn't get right grease so need to set this aside.
-Removed risers, and drilled wing stays to lower wing 3" in effort to reduce drag.
-Cleaned inside and out.

Making parts list to get car ready. Ordering new hubs F&R, OEM driveshaft, ARP studs, front undertray to replace my stock one. I busted it during an off track and it's causing my splitter to sit at a funny angle.

The streets stole one of my center caps! Stupid sti caps can come off using like one finger nail.
