2017 BRZ lasted 1.5 hours and 32km before new shoes :)
So just took delivery of my 2017 DGM BRZ at 1pm.
2:30pm rolls around and I'm getting wheels 18 x 9.5" Rays 57Transcend Hankook RS3 Got MCA traction mod and MCA XR series coilovers coming in a week. Behold the majesty (seriously, pics don't do the paint job justice, this car is stunning). It's all sparkly and amazing. It gives me a funny butterfly feeling in my stomach |

Noob here: why on earth do you need a traction mod if you have 9.5" wide wheels on bone stock power?
Is it with future plans in mind or? P.S. Lovely color! Been contemplating on wrapping mine in gloss gunmetal in a while. |

Traction mod just means you can floor it earlier when exiting a corner... allegedly. Considering I span it and rolled down a hill ending upside down in someones front yard, traction is something I'm after and it's cheap and made by MCA so it must be good amirite? :P Yeah, I wasn't sold on the colour from photos, but my writeoff was white, so I didn't want to repeat that. This dark grey is glittery, and absolute magic in the sunlight. Hard to capture on camera unfortunately. |

It's the OEM STI full body kit - and the fit is immaculate.

This car is not underpowered. People who think it is need to stop trying to race Mustangs red light to red light. |
