Perrin's working prototype catback is putting down 7whp over stock seems like no torque lost too http://blog.perrinperformance.com/brz-catback-design-and-proving/ http://blog.perrinperformance.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/dynobrzcatback.jpg

to muddy the waters, you should know that BBS engineers color into their wheels...they dont simply powdercoat........I dunno how Forgeline or CCW do it but give them a call and talk to their tech people..>I'm sure they can give you the insight/peace of mind you crave in any event, good luck and as long as you are happy with your choice, it is all that matters....Fuck haters, get bitches.

SO coat them K1s.... I used K1s for multiple trackdays and they've never run into any cracking concern...Let me be clear that I am a heavy curb user http://f-51gtphoto.smugmug.com/NASA-Great-Lakes-Midwest-Team/HPDE-9798-BMW-E36-M3/August-2011-Mid-Ohio/i-HV8kpxC/0/XL/IMG1485HitzemanNASAMidOhioHPDE-XL.jpg http://f-51gtphoto.smugmug.com/NASA-Great-Lakes-Midwest-Team/HPDE-9798-BMW-E36-M3/August-2011-Mid-Ohio/i-WprfTBt/0/M/IMG2835HitzemanNASAMidOhioHPDE-M.jpg granted, mine were NOT coated but at what temp does it need to bake for coating? (Patterson knows) I'm sure if it's anywhere undeer 300F that the metallurgical properties (heat cycling/affecting) of the Aluminum would be pretty much unaffected. I did drive those wheels for over 40k miles and no less than 7 track weekends (including Nelson Ledges 3 times) On wheels you have 3 things you can get: cost, weight, strength......Pick two, you will never get the 3rd one unless you can steal something like Fikses, CCWs, Volks, BBSs, Team Dynamics, HREs, etc etc For all intents and purposes, the Kosei K1 at $175/wheel on the BMW (maybe same price on your car) is cheap and pretty much a throwaway item if they do crack

Kosei K1 CCW Classics Volk TE37 or LE37 BBS RC BBS CH-R

it's more a WTF, honestly :dumb:

handicap tag WTF!??!?!

Primary difference between the twins seems to be the suspension preference and they considered the Subaru a better value if you want the extra bling. Randy Pobst quotes: FR-S: "Stability controls have allowed setups like this - too loose at entry, a real drift car". BRZ: "Bravo, Subaru (and Scion), and thank you for these proprioceptor-pleasing injections of the driving drug, the BRZ is better balanced." The article is 10 pages (20 print pages because of ads) and no single chart compares all of them, but definitely worth a read. Here are the article scans in PDF form scan 1 scan 2 scan 3
