Looks great! What's your overall impressions with the GC kit?

I'm gonna start by saying that the customer service is excellent.

So far I like the kit, it's limited due to the stock shocks, but overall the ride is just a bit stiffer than stock, and it feels somewhat pogo-ish over large bumps, may test it with a set of koni adjustable shocks in the future and see if adjusting the dampening helps, but it's still a great DD setup considering that the springs are 6.7K

Definitely feels more planted, and it conserved a bit of the tail happy style of the FR-S.

Can you go lower with the sleeve kit? Couple owners said they're max out and barely below stock height on these.

I'm at the limit, but ground control is sending me shorter springs so I can lower it more, will report back once I receive them.

After measuring the rear, it only dropped half an inch with the supplied springs, fronts did drop an inch though.

Shorter springs came in... 425lb front 440lb rear... I have a bad feeling this will be quite harsh...

Small update: Removed and returned the GC kit since the stock shocks couldn't handle the spring rates, and ordered the FT86SF Catted UEL

I also installed the supertek hood dampers a few weeks ago.



And here's some rolling shot porn

Nice build so far. Fellow 10 series FRS here are those hood dampers holding up well so far? I plan on getting a set soon and SuperTek looks like a great deal

I rarely open the hood, but they should last, they don't receive a lot of constant use or are subject to stresses.
