Very nice. I was looking at ST coil overs for a while, but I'm going to go with the Bilstein B14's. Close call that only came down to Bilstein being more "OEM" than ST. So, yeah, paying a bit more for a badge, essentially. Plus I think I'll enjoy the progressive springs for my daily driving needs.

I was going to get my oil and transmission fluids changed on Wednesday, but I tore my other MB Quart door speaker and I can't STAND that madness, so I'm thinking of getting the Infinity components I purchased installed and putting off fluid changes until the end of the month. I also need summer tires and a buff.

I was in the same boat with the Bilsteins, but I just got a really good deal on a ST so i jumped on it. So far I have no complaints on the ST Coils. I have a 60 mile commute and the ride is much better than stock in my opinion.
can't go wrong either way

I have a similar commute and this is nice to hear!

By the way, which wheels/color are those? I am wondering because of the color...looking at Rota Titan on wheeldude's shop, the bronze is really bright. Yours are just the color I want.

lol These are Titans Sports Bronze, mine are not bright at all. I know I've seen some pics of them almost looking gold but in person they are closer to bronze than gold.

What exact paint did you use? Also, did you add clear coat over them?

I got my brz back from the dealer today. They replaced the transmission because of the 5th gear synchro issue and flashed my ecm for the idle hunt issue. Just driving it back home, the transmission feels 1000x better than before.

Thanks for the compliments!

Actually the sellers name is .... oriexoriex


Here's his EBay store/page - http://www.ebay.com/usr/oriexoriex?_...84.m1423.l2754

You make me want the clear lens TOM's the more I see your car haha. Red on white looks good though. We will see how I feel about it when I get home.

Great pics too!
