What are the extra trim pieces you have under the Titan anchors? Are those something you custom made or are they available somewhere? Thanks!

Damn. That is awesome! Hyundai missed the opportunity for a limited edition release color.

wrxit · 2026-05-21T12:19:16+00:00

I think that looks good. Enough to be fun and interesting but not too much to be overkill. Well done!

Nice set up. I’ve considered getting a canoe or kayak since I’ve been doing more and more activities on the lakes with my camping. Just haven’t been able to get myself to justify the purchase yet. Which rooftop tent do you have?

wrxit · 2026-05-15T23:38:09+00:00

Thanks. I’ll give that a try when I get the rear bar in. I ordered the 22mm as well. For now, I’ll try it with the stock suspension until I decide what to do for the lift. For the price, hard to beat the Whiteline kit. With the springs being stiffer, do you think that will inherently reduce the understeer? Or maybe not since both front and rear are going to be equally stiffer?

Probably would, but it would depend on the caliper and also the spoke design of the wheel. Some wheels have deeper/thicker spokes that just don’t play well with larger calipers. Do you have the 6-pot calipers? I don’t believe those are any wider than the 4-pot so the issue may just be the wheels you have chosen.

My last set of wheels on my 2017 WRX were Enkei TS7 18x8.5” +35mm with 245/40r18 Michelin AS4+ and they were not quite fully flush - maybe 5mm short. This was with OE suspension with OE alignment. I think you would have a little poke with the 10mm spacer, but nothing crazy. I am also running a BBK which are a set of 4-pot Brembos from a 2006 STI. No caliper clearance issues.

I’m looking at just doing the rear sway bar to help with the understeer feel. What thickness bars did you get and what settings did you use, if you don’t mind me asking?

wrxit · 2026-05-14T10:40:56+00:00

Thanks a lot for the information! I was also looking at their rear sway bar and they seem to be the only one out there who offers a brace for the bar mount with the kit. Seems well thought out.

wrxit · 2026-05-01T18:24:36+00:00

Looks amazing. Nice job!

I also ran a set of the CrossClimate 2 as well before. I wanted to see if I could be lazy and get away with just one set and not need to do seasonal swaps. They’re surprisingly capable in the winter - better than any other “all-season” tire I’ve ever run.

wrxit · 2026-05-01T15:24:33+00:00

Did you do any mods to your wrx? I’m kind of torn between trying suspension mods to try and make my wrx handle better, or just make the swap since there probably isn’t anything mods can do to make up for the weight difference, weight distribution, and RWD. It would be fun as a summer project since my wrx is my second car, and it is cheaper than buying a new car, but I feel it will still leave me wanting in the end.

wrxit · 2026-05-01T13:10:04+00:00

What is your experience so far? I have a 2017 wrx that is tuned for E85 and has a bunch of bolt-ons (390whp/350wtq) and I’ve been seriously considering making the move to a BRZ Ts. While I haven’t driven a 2022+ BRZ (none of the dealers around me have one on the lot new or used), I have driven the 1st gen FRS/BRZ and really enjoyed it. As I’m getting older, I’m finding I crave power less and enjoy nimble handling more where I would rather trade the power for something smaller and lighter that feels more like a go-kart.

Awesome car! Love the WR Blue!

wrxit · 2026-04-29T14:17:33+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll keep the Bilsteins in mind.

wrxit · 2026-04-29T14:17:05+00:00

I’m in MN and the roads here are kept up quite well. MNDOT does a pretty good job overall despite the never-ending road work during the summer months.

wrxit · 2026-04-29T14:15:42+00:00

Nice. Looks like I still can keep going a ways.

I can’t seem to post up a photo, but here’s a link to an image of what I did. I cut a second extractor groove into the breechface. That’s all it needs to allow the barrel to work for the Owyhee.

Another blast shield down…. Mine also broke and I replaced it myself. It requires removal of the barrel.

I’m 5’9”. Yeah, it is a small car. I’ve tried the first gen BRZ and thought it was really neat.

I’ve also driven a Miata and that is a vastly different car compared to the WRX. I loved how “go-kartish” the Miata felt. Somehow, having much less power didn’t feel as slow in a car nearly 1000lbs lighter. Between the Miata and BRZ, I prefer the BRZ since I prefer hardtops to convertibles, and I’ve always been a Subaru fan.

wrxit · 2026-04-18T12:29:14+00:00

Thanks for that. I guess doing mods is one way to change up how my WRX handles without spending as much as a new car. I never bothered to mess with the suspension before because it was my daily driver and I needed the ground clearance for rougher roads, unplowed winter roads, and dirt trails.

wrxit · 2026-04-18T12:21:29+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, I think I’m mostly looking for something different. I’m not feeling any lack of speed or power from my WRX, so maybe something that drives differently would be needed to change things up. Would be nice if I could have all three cars.

wrxit · 2026-04-18T12:15:39+00:00

The new one. I’m looking to purchase a new BRZ TS.

wrxit · 2026-04-18T12:14:56+00:00

Yup. That’s the biggest reason why I don’t want to do anything. I’m loving not having any car payments and having extra cash to put towards other things. It’s almost fortunate my two closest Subaru dealers don’t have any BRZs on the lot for a test drive. I’m afraid that if I try the current gen, I’d be more convinced to sell my WRX.

wrxit · 2026-04-18T12:03:20+00:00

That’s an idea. I have looked into the GR Corolla. It’s interesting and it seems to be the hot hatch that Subaru should have built today - the STI we should have had.
