Good point, they're only an hour away so not too far.

Yeah I'm looking at buying one for future use too. Going to order it this coming week
-
Thanks I was hoping to get to that day too, but I can only commit 4 to 6 weeks before so missed out.

@Rich thanks for the info, debating whether to go for the electronic or mechanical solution. Definitely need to do something about the head lights though.

Do you know if it would be ale to take a 40mm drop?
-
Definitely more likely to come if someone else would be like me, don't want to be like the kid pressing my nose against the glass in a sweet shop Can we buy a wrist band on the day?

How far have you lowered your car Rich?

How have you found the head light leveller Lauren? I also see there is a a Valenti electronic leveller, has anyone used that?

Well time for an update! I've been on the @Tuned UK eibach lowering springs for about a month now and really liking the change in feel of the car. It's definitely flatter on corners and the ride quality is well within my limits. It's my first project and Richard at at Tuned has been really understanding and helpful with my questions regarding the suspension set up. Currently its still very neutral but in the near future I'll be putting some camber bolts on the front and tweaking the rears as well. Ride height wise, the 40mm drop did worry me a bit at first but I'm yet to scrape it which has surprised me a lot. Build and mod wise, I've changed the wheels (don't hate me @Lauren) to some 18x8.5 Rota Grid Drifts in gold from @Mike@TD.co.uk I love the look of the wheels now. There is a slight lateral arch gap for the rear wheels, and I did briefly consider some spacers but it honestly doesn't bother me enough to do anything about it. What's in the future? Firstly I want to get some track and drift days under my belt. I've done a bit of research but got a lot of questions so going to put up a thread asking for a bit of advice, work also means its hard for me to commit to things more than 4 to 6 weeks away, but I'm hoping to just go along to some localish track days that aren't full on my days off and put up a thread on here to see if anyone is free to join. Mods wise I have a few plans for this year. ICE: I need to change the head unit, its awful in the BRZ and starting to grate on my nerves now. Cosmetics: Rear spoiler and possible reverse light. I've been on the look out for a decent rear spoile or a carbon boot with the right kind of ducktail but yet to find one unpainted for a reasonable price or one that is in stock. Also, considering some cosmetic changes in the cabin to get rid of the plain silver plastic that is around. Engine: By the years end I plan on either going forced induction or an NA tune with an UEL header, but I'm no longer in a rush to do this. Exhaust: Hope to get a better sounding exhaust sorted soon, but I'm waiting for a few meets to come up so I can hear other peoples and work out what I want.

Single exit Invidia titanium system now available at Tarmac Sportz
Hoax replied to Tarmac's topic in Tarmac Sportz
This system looks awesome, but how loud is it? Will end up with an ASBO / keyed car? -
What is a ball park figure for power increase for one of these ITB set ups?
-
Excellent taste! Welcome to the club
-
Awesome, looking forward to more meets this year!
-
I won't be able to make it, battery has died and Subaru's famed customer service and bending over backwards to avoid helping. Have fun guys!
-
I'm going for a neutral set up to start with, see how I get on and build up my own knowledge of set ups before I start to play around with a customised one.
-
What kind of difference do you feel with your settings vs a neutral set up?
-
Just drop links on the front as the originals were on solid, once checked on the aligner its pretty much 0 toe and camber. Can definitely feel the difference in cornering though. What toe and camber are you running? The ride quality is stiffer than standard, I didn't want it to be too stiff as it is my daily driver but for me its totally acceptable and I would be OK with slightly stiffer. I think I am a bit more sensitive than others to ride stiffness as well.

My first serious mods were a set of TOM'S rear lights and an Eibach lowering package from the guys at Tuned! The arch gap is, in my opinion, quite large on our cars. I had been looking at KW coilovers and going for a full suspension set up change, but after meeting Richard and Adam from Tuned! at their opening day I thought I'd give the springs route a try. I dropped the BRZ off in December and ventured back to pick it up the next day, right away the car looked a lot better. The 40mm drop did have me a bit nervous about speed bumps but so far I've had no issues. The handling has been tightened up, turn in feels a lot sharper and body roll has been reduced. The ride is spot on for me, my BRZ is a daily driver and I can't deal with feeling every tiny change in the road. The TOM'S rear lights went on the car at the same time and transform the look of the rear end. The chrome parts of the standard lights don't go so well with the blue paint, but the solid red of the TOM'S really sits well for me.

Provisionally in, will confirm nearer the day
