So far I love my powerflex bushings and haven't had any issues. They seem to move much more freely than the stock bushings.

I'd like some ce28s but at 16.05 lbs each they are alittle over priced. I'm hoping volk new wheels are lighter. I have to stay with a 17x9 +60+ to be legal in the class I race in.

Everyone seems to think I need a front lip. Haha wonder how much a oem front lip weights?

The brz came to a car meet in Louisville ky and I parked beside it.

I'm from frankfort but work in Lexington. I autox at both the ckr and the kyr regions.

Nice action shots. Everybody is going to have their opinion on how the aesthetics should be. Your car is a 9 in my book.

I still have a lighter battery to order and I need to get another seat. Then the car will be done.

Needs a OEM Front lip(Just personal, Cannot stand AP1 w/ no lip front end appearance.)

Still, even with that taken into consideration in my book it's a 10.

Your level of dedication to proper modification and the level of effort to improve the vehicle as much as possible shows just from the pictures. I bet it handles incredibly well.

As a fellow JRZ 3-way owner, 10. People just don't understand the level these shocks are capable of achieving.

Your car is sick!

Any tips on installing the bushings? Did you rent a bushing press kit from your local auto parts store?

Thanks man! As for the bushings, pain in the ass! I had to cut off both complience bushing and 2 of the bushings on the rear driver side. It ended up taking a whole weekend. I used 4-5 sawza blades and 2 cut off wheels. To get th bushings out the c-clamp press works really good but we also used a normal press. A few of the bushings are two piece and required cutting off one side of the flange and pushng them out the other side.

I'm just happy it's done and over with.
