I see on your first page that you bought Battle Version Subframe Spacers, but you never officially mentioned or reviewed them in the thread. i'd really appreciate it if you'd help me out with some questions.
Was the install really as easy as the product description implies, or does it take a while?
Can you feel a difference when drifting?

Your car and skills are very impressive and your video actually helped me to chose FRS as a car for studying drifting

Need your help with hub conversions.
Bought last week wheels in Japan with 5x114.3 bolt pattern think about Swapping rear STI hubs too.

There is a lot of threads about hub conversions but nobody posted about real experience with this. Can you please post parts list which you used, because I'm not shure about ABS sensors and Axles (let me know please If I lost something else important for this swap).



If I understand correctly, I need:
STI hub assy 28473FG010 - 2pc.
STI Brakes (Rotors, Calipers, Pads) not sure about Brake hoses #11 and Shields #6 from STI?

Thank you

Thanks for the kind words! As far as the rear hub conversion goes, all you need to do is get 08 wrx sti rear hubs and get your oem rotors redrilled to 5x114. That is all. I think the hubs are around $150 each retail price. You can get new rotors that are 5x114 that work (i think theres a thread somewhere for that), but all I did was take my oem rotors to a machine shop, give them my 5x114 spacer to trace off, and had them drill holes to 5x114. No issues what so ever. Its a total of about $300-$350 for the rear hub conversion. I'm still running kics conversion spacers for the front.

Some updates with the car. I drove Final Bout II recently with my team Funk Ad. Such a great time. Event went real well and we did great as a team. Here are a couple of photos.






I ended up hitting the k rail towards the end of the second day haha



Didn't mess up anything TOO bad. Since then I've purchased another fc. I decided to retire the brz as a drift car (have the fc for that now). So starting very soon I will be setting up the car for grip. Very excited for that! Something I've never really done before. I'll try to update this thread as I make changes.

I love it. I'm not good at explaining this stuff lol. It works awesome. Not too aggressive, but just enough. I had one before in an s13 and it was great too. Will probably get same clutch for my fc.

They are fine. I can't compare before and after much since I didn't do much driving before I had them on, but car feels good.

Here's what it looks like now btw.



Stock knuckles and tie rods back on, raised it an inch, and put 245/40/17 direzza zii star soecs all around. Still need to put front sway back on and get aligned. way easier and funner to drive than before. No more drifting this car, going to try road racing.
