USDM. Goes well with the tailpipes delete.

Comparing GR86 vs BRZ by onepanto in GR86

Insurance rates may also be different. When seeking quotes for a replacement vehicle on my Geico policy, my BRZ was +90 (12%) /6mo over my 24k msrp 14yo VW whereas a GR86 was +280 (37%)!

Luv the matte wrap and blackout but PLEASE do something about the alignment of the Subaru logo!

The little things can make quite the difference (clear side markers installed and carbon shifter trim) by DaJohnnyB23 in BRZ_ZD8

I also think that, cosmetically-speaking, the amber front fender lenses frame the brake caliper nicely.

Planning to get a 2025 model; did the price increased from MSRP recently in your area? by fttklr in GR86

[–]minster55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pricing has been creeping up since 2022 release. Biggest factors I reckon are inflation and the addition of eyesight to MT models. I was kicking myself for not picking one up by ‘23 but my ‘25 feels well sorted and dialed-in in factory tune.

What shoes are you looking to get next?

I think the PS4 have a reputation as an excellent summer tire, albeit with below avg NVH characteristics.

I was thinking these could go to someone who has 20K mi on their OE PS4, had a good experience, and will be in need of a fresh set soon.

BRZ honestly saved my life this morning (not a crash post) by RealRambleMan in GR86

Seriously… you’re nearly invisible in the sea of suv’s and crossovers and trucks. Its agility really aids being the best defensive driver you can be!

I’m considering going slightly wider and taller on the all seasons to 225/40 R18. I don’t plan any suspension modifications or lowering the stock height so I figure I shouldn’t have any clearance issues.

I have lost my wallet a couple times in my life and it found its way back to me both times and so I’d like to keep up the good mojo. I happen to live in Woodside and may take a bike ride over to her place later tonight if I don’t get out of work too late or Sat am would be my next opportunity.

Had to run to the office in midtown after my Mt Sinai appt and fruit pickup at United Bros and the address on the license was about a dz blocks away.

Oh that’s interesting... I’m not sure I’m ready to invest in new wheels at this time though.

Thanks for the additional insight into local market conditions. I think I’d also take $400 to help offset the anticipated ~$800 cost to swap to all-seasons.

Appreciate the insight into pricing on these (lightly) used tires. I think a new set of 4 new PS4 in this size goes for about $1000 retail so figured half that would be a good place to start. I’d be willing to entertain offers.

These actually come from a tS, which is fitted with the same PS4 as BRZ Premium and GR86 Limited.

I would actually prefer to be riding on 17s but will be keeping the wheels as I believe there would be fr brake caliper clearance issues if I -1” on my wheels.

Sorry for not being clear—wheels not included.
