I had a feeling it would do that to the rear. Probably makes it more tail happy

Does your Strut bar have the Brake brace?

When you push on the brakes the master cylinder flexes out, this stops that and improves pedal feel.

OOOOH OK now actually looking at the bracket i can totally see what your talking about however no i didn't opt for that i haven't noticed enough pedal badness to need to improve it....and if i did i would probably just get better pads and rotors haha

Yeah they give me and my crew killer deals on any parts we need. I am also one of the first people to know when they do anything at all as far as releasing new parts and such.

All right so sunday i attended the IFO (Import Face Off) car show with SwitchLanez and another member on here with a Whiteout FR-S. We all had a great time and Switchlanez and i even won trophies in our own classes. I won second place in Best toyota/Scion and he won First place in Best Subaru! It was a great time. the Scion Racing crew attended (sadly without the Greddy FRS) but aside from it being hot as hell and getting sunburnt we had a good time. TOO BAD THAT SWITCHLANEZ CAMERA BROKE AND ALL THE PIX OF US WITH MODELS ARE GONE!!!!! LOL

First off the white rims look awesome with them hot lava

But what's up with your pics? Are they HDR? The people and there shadows are odd...

And the whelp on the black car to the right of the BRZ also looks strange, like it's hovering or something.
