Do you really hear the motors in action?

Thanks

You only hear them at low speeds. You can set the speed at which the motors activate, so if you set them to be inert below 30mph you never hear them except when they calibrate on startup.

It seems like there are many who vouch for the various bushings. My question is.... even if you get the most compliant/mildest of all the various bushings (like STi ones for example), is there a point where you have done too much and car becomes too stiff and too much NVH?

Yes. My 04 WRX has a poly bush in the lower control arm and a whiteline antilift kit. Makes railroads crossings rough and you feel every crack perpendicular to the car. With certain stiff sidewall tires it was unbearable. The car does turn on rails though, I have many other bushes and braces which transformed the car for those weekend runs. I don’t think the BRZ needs much, it’s a sports car chassis where the 04 WRX is an econobox with a turbo, so it needs help.

Exhaust for me as it amplifies the enjoyment of driving and urges me to keep the revs up. As Spuds mentioned the Fumoto valve is soooooo wonderful when changing oil.

Tool-less oil changes are just wonderful. Fumoto FTW.

One my friend tells me that he have installed a headlights. He send me that, it is MOSTPLUS LED Sequential Headlights LH & RH Set for 2013-2019 Subaru BRZ. Looks like a good mod to make BRZ more stylish

Fumoto valve for the win!

I also picked up hood pistons which are nice as well as splash guards, yellow fog light film, and JDM side marker lights (white lens/amber bulb).

None of this is too expensive nor are they race parts.

Love my beatsonic dash phone mount, rear view camera install and the iJDM toy 4th brake light!

STI shift knob Duracon
STI connector (sound creator)
STI steering bolts
STI fender garnish

Problem is that is a very personal issue. If it is a track car that is totally ignored because it doesn't matter.
For a daily it is totally an individual thing. For instance I have zero issues living with the removal of the rear seats and everything in the trunk. It creates a lot of extra noise, but I don't care. Many people on here cannot even deal with the added noise of simply keeping the rear seats lowered for a period of time.

See if there is anyone in your area that has some and go for a ride along. That's really the only way you will know if it is something you want to live with on a daily basis.

Indeed. I had a billet front motor mount in an older car and most people who got in hated it but I loved the added feel and confidence on the road. It's like exhaust noises and personal preferences for sure.
