I don’t know much about the torque solution but I’m sure it’s better than the TRD lol. The STI is slightly shorter and basically OEM+ so there is that price tag lol.

I have the Torque solutions one. I like it it does have a noise at certain speeds but nothing bad.

Filmed a quick cold start video of my car from the outside today and almost smashed into my ladder. A lot louder and throatier than I thought compared to in cabin noise.

Got the rear driver side of my bumper hit by some rando today. That's what I did to my BRZ. What's crazy is, I didn't feel it when it happened. So now I gotta sift through my dashcam footage to figure wtf happened.

I'm dumb.

What are the pros and cons of a break booster delete. I see the aesthetic benefits but ...?

Brake feel and bias adjustment.

TRD USA or JP? Because the JP is the same as the STI one, up to and including the price

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you. My car is completely stripped down to the frame pretty much.

I'm still in the process of rewiring the entire car in tefzel wire, mil spec connectors, etc.

Either way, I did a similar setup on my ek coupe many years back, and I love it.
