Wheel size and offsets, if you don’t mind? Looks nice!

Hey, haven't forgotten about your feedback. So, I've been driving on the B14s, though still not aligned. But there's a pretty good noticeable difference with stock.



I've been driving conservatively for the past few dayS but this morning decided to push a little harder. On-ramp to the highway I can take the exit at a much, much higher speed than I would do with Stock suspension, the car feels very grounded and almost no body roll.



It is bumpy, very bumpy. Especially at lower speeds. My research has indicated that running on recommended settings (110mmF-145mmR) can induce these results. So I'm thinking about raising 10mm for each set.



Where I would feel an increase of speed, say, past 80MPH on stock, on the B14, going past 80 and above, the car feels like it floats, with minimal ride bumpiness. It almost invites you to go faster.



Twisties are pretty fun now. like highway speeds, the car invites you to push a little harder on the turns.


I absolutely want to see the results after getting a proper alignment and raising the vehicle up a little more. I could live with the minimal settings, it just keeps activating the crash sensor on my camera so I could just decrease the sensitivity on it and call it a day.

Had to make a compromise on the car exhaust. Boss lady has been a little less reluctant to go out on the BRZ, but the exhaust is too droney for her taste. I like going on errands and trips on the BRZ, so in order to facilitate that, I'm getting an APEXi N1-X. Didn't want to lose the look I aim for on the rear. According to Kevin, the APEXi keeps a great sound while getting rid of drone completely. It was either this one or a way more expensive ARK.



Will upload notes once I get it.

Very nice. With those Helmholtz resonators I believe this will do exactly what you're looking for.

Im very interested to see how, compared to Kevin's catless front pipe, my double resonated one will affect sound.

Where'd you order it from, out of curiosity?

Enjuku. They had the lowest price at the time plus free shipping. 86speed wanted to charge me a flat rate shipping for $150 plus another shipping charge for $50 at checkout.

Nice, hopefully it gets to you quickly if it's a drop ship from the manufacturer situation. I checked out their site, they have a nice selection of exhausts and good prices.

I think it might be an international order because I’ve been on “Processed” for about 3 days. Which is fine. No rush.
They do seem to have a really good inventory.

Been almost a week since I ordered the new exhaust and it still “Processed”. The waiting game for parts both awesome and torture.

Missed that feeling.
