IVRINGS Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hell you could do 2" and still wouldn't be really low. Also who ever made the choice on stock wheels that came with that car should be shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I stopped at Hatfield today as they have a "Hot Lava" FRS there, nice color but the ass end of that car leaves a lot to be desired. Seats are comfy though and I seemed to have plenty of headroom in it. Will have to drive one next year maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably taken, but I saw both a Red and a Blue Limited BRZ at Byers Mazda Subaru today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Borgen Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 "Toyota and Subaru executives apparently contacted NHTSA and announced they were filing a joint recall on the new BRZ and FRS after learning that it is neither all-wheel nor front-wheel drive.

Crossle Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 You mean to say that people actually read their owners manual? How many of those people already took it out of the car and lost it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10phone2 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 the car looks like it was built to be slammed and tucking. I'm curious to know how much lower you can go before giving crappy rear axle angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyc12340 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 got a voicemail from the dealer about inserting 2 pages in owners manual. While Draco is going for the balance, CG..etc I think I'm gonna try to fit some fat wheels/ more drop thing. Oh, anyone know of good headlight retrofitters around here?

I'm curious to know how much lower you can go before giving crappy rear axle angles. It's not really the axles to worry about, unless you do something silly with the rear camber. But the suspension geometry goes to hell after about 1" of drop and it becomes difficult to control the alignment. Of course when people slam the car like that they tend to have such stiff suspensions that nothing moves enough to mess with the alignment. *shrug* Not my thing.

SRTurbo04 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Painted the vent cover thinge on the fender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Painted the vent cover thinge on the fender? No....look like he tinted the side markers as he was hoping to do. On black it looks great. The fender vent things are like that stock. Looks much better on black than on the lighter colors. I've been wanting to slightly tint my tails. Nothing huge, just enough to knock out the really bright reflection, sorta like the tinted plate covers I have. I wonder if they can do that? The site I ordered the yellow overlays on my fogs sell an overlay for the tails but I'd rather have them done by locally vs trying it myself and risking it not turning out perfect. The stock wheels are growing on me a bit more. Would have to see them with a slight drop to love them I think. Can't wait to see the new ones though.

Draco-REX Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 lol. I'm going to just transfer the generics that were on the Leggy, that were on the Corolla. They're the old red white and blue plates. I'm going to try and avoid the "clip-art vomit" plates. Maybe when the new plates are out I'll rethink a custom plate.
