Probably so, I ran the wheels/tires for a couple weeks with some 3mm spacers up front on stock suspension and didn't have any rubbing. It pokes a little bit out the top without negative camber.

I swapped out the interior lights in the trunk lights for LEDs. It was my first official mod

The LED dome light upgrade really helps light things up. What is the LED lamp part number is for the one for the trunk light?

Give me the huge difference yeah I bought two packs of Noble T10 LED’s. So I had four in total but I only need three I replace the two dome lights inside and one in the trunk they’re all the same.

So the legamax exhaust finally came in! There was a ~5week delay but after there was stock it was shipped super fast (Shoutout to japanparts for the amazing customer service).
Install was a breeze - everything lined up perfectly. Maybe took about 30mins to do including setup and cleanup. Onto the good stuff. The exhaust has all the deep/low bass the car was lacking previously. It's there in the background in the lower rev range but tapers off around 3k. Under normal cruising, you'll barely notice any difference from oem. Highway cruising even at around 3k rpm is still very mild. It's there, but not intrusive at all. Downshifts have a nice deep note to them now when you apply gas. Driving it more spiritedly is a little louder than oem but with a nice note to it. Startup is a bit boomy though, but I suspect it'll quiet down a bit after breaking it in. I remember my trd exhaust was like that after about 1000kms. i think in terms of volume, the perrin 2.5 resonated was louder than this by a little bit, but not quite as deep of a note. Overall, perfect for DD. It's there, it's not intrusive, and it has a nice deep note to it. It could definitely be louder and still be tolerable, but if you're looking for something that won't attract unwanted attention from the officers, this checks all the boxes. A non burnt tip option would be nice too. Side note, if someone near Vancouver, BC has the STI exhaust, I'd love to compare. |

Interesting. Given that they will take about 2 weeks to settle, would you recommend I wait until then to also perform an alignment?

^ what jongers said. After getting the height where you'd like best to align first. Maybe it just took me 2 weeks to get used to them haha, but it feels a bit smoother now. Height wise I don't think they changed much after setting them.

Finally checked the numbers on the stock steering rack bushings.
They are: 34112CC000 They are different than previous gen and do not cross reference to anything else in the Subaru catalog. |

New Wheels!!! Bronze TS-7's with 245s! Wait, wait a sec... (checks notes) WHOOPS, those are for the WRX. No new wheels for the BRZ yet
Thinking I might got for some Enkei XM-6's (still in 17s and 7.5). But probably not until next year unfortunately. Can't really find many pictures online of Twins with XM-6's (makes me wonder if they are a newer style). Also, they are a tad heavy...Maybe I'd be better off with PF01s... Decisions, decisions. Other than that, spent some time driving in the warmest conditions that I have yet had the car for (10-12C). The Primacys don't feel anywhere near as bad as I thought they would.
