BRZ Track Prep Parts List: Suspension, Brakes, Exhaust & HPDE Setup Breakdown

From Daily Driver to Track Duty

Another common theme with my "daily drivers" is that I get a random craving for track time while my racecar is broken that ends up thrusting the streetcar into competition usage. Last year it was the end of BP4W saga, so there was a big round of parts last spring (2021) so I could run a couple HPDEs with the homies.

Suspension, Brakes & Handling Setup

-Tein Flex Z, off the shelf variety, no special sauce. teinVSQ54-CUSS4

-My favorite dual duty compromise brake pads: Stoptech "309" Sport. sto309.15390 & sto309.11240

-Stoptech stainless brake lines

-Motul RBF660

-Centric Premium rotors. sto120.47021 & sto120.47031

-Whiteline swaybars and endlinks. 22mm front, 16mm rear. whlBSF45XZ & whlBSR54Z

Exhaust Changes & Lessons Learned

The Tomei 80R exhaust made my ears bleed, so it pretty quickly got replaced with a Revel(Tanabe) Medallion Touring-S Catback. rvlT80166RR

I still have this exhaust, as the combo of it behind the catless JDL EL 4-2-1 and UltraQuiet midpipe was actually perfect, until I took it to a trackday and presumably burned all the muffler packing out of it. It was then incapable of passing the wifey test on pure volume, and also picked up a rasp/fart tone with heavier throttle inputs.

Parts On Deck (Not Yet Installed)

These items remain on my shelf:

rad20-0901 Radium FR-S/BRZ/86 PCV Side Catch Can Kit

whlKCA435 Roll Center Adjuster Kit & Bump Steer

whlKCA326 Rear Camber adj kit-control arm upper bushes

Class Rules & Fitment Considerations

The bump steer kit is allowed in NASA ST/TT but penalized there. It is not allowed in SCCA STX, so it hasn't made its way onto the car.

The offset bushings are waiting until I decide to do a whole car, or at least whole rear end bushing effort, or until the lack of rear camber starts to cost me performance.
