Hello all, I wanted to keep track of my mods over time for myself more than anyone really but if it gives people ideas then great! I've had the car for 5 months now and was originally 100% stock. As the title suggests, being young and not having deep pockets just yet, my build is centered around mods that are affordable and I try to get 2nd hand stuff where I can and DIY everything. Red and black is by far my favourite combination, and currently am looking to add more black bits to it. I'll show the initial photo (can't find one with stock wheels on) and the most recent one below. The list of modifications thus far (I'll include prices if anyone was curious): 18 inch ET35 RS style wheels £400 Smoked sequential tail lights £200 white LED interior and license plate lights £10 Carbon effect lip spoiler £80 Blacked out badges (free - plastidip lying around) Window louvres £15 Used Berk dual exit muffler delete £130 Used TD 2nd cat delete £80 HT Autos splitter, side skirts and rear spats £299 OEM rear diffuser (£120 new from other forum member - is £160 ish from fensport) Whiteline 25mm lowering springs £130 EBC brake pads £50 Gloss black roof and wing mirror wrap (£50 for roll - wrapped myself, was quoted around £200 from various shops) Over the next few weeks, I've ordered some smoked side markers and smoked front corner signal lights to get rid of a lot of the chromey lights. Next month, planning to get some black housing VLAND headlights if no 2nd hand ones are up for sale. Stock (except wheels): Current state:

Front Spring Rate: 171 in/lbs Rear Spring Rate: 234 in/lbs here's a link to where I got them, @Lucas@PartBox. Very quick delivery. https://www.part-box.com/whiteline-lowering-springs-25mm-drop-toyota-gt86-subaru-brz-wsk-sub006

I am super happy with the Whiteline ones I got. Main reasoning was for looks and the 25mm drop in my eyes is perfect, reduces the arch gap whilst remaining functional for a daily. Ride wise it is actually more comfortable at town speeds but when you're at a decent speed you can feel it is firmer (due to progressive springs). In my opinion, I would say the ride is overall a good improvement except for if you're going 70 and theres a decent bump on the motorway you will feel it a lot more. I guess thats the sacrifice for stiffer springs. Handling wise there has also been an improvement since you do actually feel lower and more planted, despite only a 1 inch drop. Overall, highly recommend Whiteline or any others like Tein or H&R, just make sure you choose one with the drop and spring rate you want. Like you said, a grand on coilovers is not kind on the wallet! Saving up for a house is more important

How are you finding the springs? I'd like to lower mine, but am about as interested in spending a grand on coilovers as I am in drinking bleach. Paying off my mortgage is more important. Sent from my VFD 710 using Tapatalk

Nice start, look forward to the progress. Dropped you a pm RE headlights.

Not sure if East Kilbride is on your way, but have 2 sets, both from 2013 models.

Well, life is basically on hold, no track days or club events until further notice. (Washed the car, still dirty... fuel gets cheaper, nowhere to go... ) Stay safe until the life re-starts [emoji40] Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
