@Martinnangel - thank you for the inputs. On the TRD, i actually like it but just very hesitant on the ground clearance hence I used mall parking lots as a reference for me to determine where i can and cannot go with the 86. (also, i have no experience in driving lowered cars, lowest i driven was a honda city 2005 model)

I intend to use this as my primary daily car and using car parks such as trinoma, greenbelt 3 (upper), and edsa shang-rila are referenceable to the conditions here in tarlac/pampanga region.

Experience wise, the car isn't really that low. You also have to take into consideration that the wheels are near the front end of the car so you get into humps/steep drive ways with ease. Given it's not (very steep) haha. And like what Martin said, be careful. Approach it at an angle and you'll be fine for most cases. And if I were to decide that trd kit is alittle overkill price wise, you could get everything that's on that car for half the price. Just my 2 cents. Haha

I wouldnt lower the BRZ/86 any further out of consideration to other motorists.

I find it annoying as a motorists to have to wait for lowered cars that are ahead of me to traverse humps, down & up ramps.

Stock height is high enough so long as you do not have more than 1 passenger.

You're right, and while we're at it we might as well not change our exhaust (noise pollution) and header (noise and air pollution) out of consideration to other motorists, pedestrians and the environment

here is my ever lasting debate with my peers.

I'd like to post a poll here as well.

"" in your opinion, with regards to exhaust lines (in every sense of the term), what is loud enough? A low rumble, down pipe, side pipe, 3.5 inch lines (usually reserved for turbo kits), etc. ""

Don't forget it also defeats the purpose of reducing pollutants being mixed into the air we all breath.

We live in the Philippines with tricycles and jeepneys so a fart pipe ain't that bad. #PinoyPride?

I just want to get from point A to point B quickly and I think other motorists want to do so as well.

Ideally humps and other barriers should be of a uniform dimension.

My Evo had a stock pipe that sets off car alarms which is fun.

Hi. Kumusta po kayo?

Kailangan ko ng tulong... where can I find Rota PWR wheels in P.I? I'm in America, pero my dad is visiting family in metro manila. Saan makakabili ng 18×9.5 Rota PWR squared set-up? gusto ko ng flat black.

If you can help me find a store or the factory that has them in stock, I am forever thankful! I don't want my dad to get lost and I can not give him directions from here.
