otakusan: looks like we have some fellow Subie owners in the house. I still have my 2013 BRZ.

Not to derail the OP build thread but wanted to say hello to a fellow twins owner! Saw your build thread over at FT86Club. Sweet FRS!

Thanks buddy

Thank you, since I can't install them without the fog light covers, it's currently just sitting in it's box.

BRZ is a nice looking car

Another small update, I have debated a few solutions regarding the ride height problem and finally decided to pick up a set of these to fix it once and for all...

Installation was pretty straight forward but height adjustment literally took DAYS. Fronts are like any other coilover, so it's was simple, the rear however... you cannot adjust the height once installed due to the cars suspension design.. HUGE pain in the rear!!! I must have taken apart and reassembled the rear about 1/2 dozen times now and finally got the right height I'm happy with.

Besides the ride height, these RS-R iSport coilovers are amazing... they improved the handling of the car by SO much. AND they are not harsh at all for everyday driving.
Current setting:
Front lowered 2cm
Rear lowered 1.5cm
Front Shocks set at 20 clicks from full stiff
Rear Shocks set at 22 clicks from full stiff

Also got a set of these JDM rear door weather seals (not available in north america that I know of.. at least my dealer can't pull up the part numbers)

Nice! I'll buy your RSR Downs off of you if the price is right! Lol

Another busy Friday yesterday, some along awaited parts finally showed up:
Ebay door hinge covers



AND Finally, the TRD parts

Even got some free gifts with it


After some careful measuring, template aligning, and drilling, TRD rear spoiler installed!!




The TRD front lip kit will probably wait for sping since it just stared snowing here

Looking good! Curious why your car does not have front headlight washers as I thought this was standard for Canadian models.

Tyrant32

Where did you end up finding the TRD parts at?

otakusan

All Canadian models did have the headlight washers until 2016.. don't know why they got rid of it besides it being an eye sore.

I got them from Lexus Boutique International

Very nice, I'm also lookign for RSR coils but the price up here in Canada is crazy!

otakusan

Thanks for your kind comment buddy. The Canadian dollar is pretty week, so anything now a day is big money. I paid just over $2800cnd taxed for my RSR Coils. Have you tried NextMod? they usually get pretty good prices.

JDM GS X-Line Shift k.*** and boot arrived and installed
Red stitches matches with my interior and round shape leather k.*** feels so much better than the square plastic one.

included part numbers for anyone interested


Installation was pretty straight forward, taking apart the center console was quick, but getting the boot collar to fit nicely on the current boot was a pain

Do you know the part numbers for the GSF shift **** and boot? I'd love to do that mod!

It's clear in the pics... Lovely mod well done
