My Mods So Far. New To Modding! Share your thoughts. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Jolt182 · 07-15-2015, 04:10 AM

Hey guys the names Luke. About 5 months ago I went out and bought my first nice car. I come from a line of beaters like alot of people do starting out. I got a 2014 FR-S and absolutely love it.

I want to use this post as a way to show my progress up till now and in the future as well. Please feel free to post pics of your rides and share your thoughts!
Here's the mods and specs of whats been done so far.

Suspension: Stance Coilovers, SPC control arms. Dropped alittle over an inch. (The rear is a quarter inch higher than the front but I will be lowering it to match as soon as I find some spare time)
Wheels: VOLK TE37 SL, 18x9.5 +40. Color: Pressed Graphite
Tires: 255/35/18
Camber: -0.5 Front, -1.5 Rear. (most likely going to match front camber to rear)
Smaller Changes: Replaced "Scion" for Toyota Badges, Removed "FR-S" badge, VHT Nite Shade Red used on tail lights, Raceseng Shift Knob, Broadway rear view mirror.
Update: Invidia N1 Exhaust with Ti Tips just installed!

So far thats it, and FYI so far NO rubbing issues!

Nice car! Nice neon collection! You should make a Journal in the members journal section. And put some center caps on those wheels.

Looks great! Remember to keep that paint nice & shiny with some butter wax and/or Klasse sealant. Also, having the rear end slightly higher isn't a bad thing, it actually reduces understeer under braking, from what I was told.

With wheels that wide, a set of mud guards would help save your paint from the debris they'll kick up the sides. The Rally Armor guards are ugly but adjustable. OEM guards look a lot better.
