Personally I think the only VALUABLE upgrade for a FRS/BRZ/STi would be a complete hub and brake conversion that would change it to 5x114.3.

Thanks for the kind words guys, this car is my baby. Trying to do right by her haha
Wheels: I'm thinking about the new Rota D2-EX when they come out, not sure on color combo, but 17x8 or 8.5
As for suspension, I'm thinking Cusco Street SpecA coils. I'll be getting probably all the Cusco braces eventually as well.
I could, but many shops have said it doesn't make a difference performance wise, and I like the sound of the engine when at WOT. Waiting on a good exhaust to decide on..

I might mess with it some day, but for now I'll leave it be. I imagine it doesn't make a huge difference, but I'd rather hear a nice exhaust sound than the cams clacking away lol. So maybe taking it out would be better.

I did notice a good difference Rick. I posted that picture on rallysports website for that product. Ive done that with everything I've bought from you guys so far, hope it helps potential buyers seeing actual pics of the parts in action.
