the braces allow up and down movement for bumps and uneven road but stiffen the car laterally for cornering. its suppose to retain the comfort of not having a stiff chassis while being stiff in the turns.
I'm really not feeling the exterior aero pieces. I'd go for that push start button and nothing else tbh. Streethunter part are no doubt going to be legit though.
22:40 Copy from home Subaru home page. A pillow ball is sandwiched in the V bar which is connected to the front strut and the bulkhead to effectively utilize the bending of the chassis. As a result, this part improves steering responsiveness, providing nimble handling from the normal range at the start of steering to the limit zone. In addition, while ensuring the rigidity required in the chassis, this product moderately removes external pressure such as road gaps, and flexibly diverts vibrations. This can be easily installed by simply replacing the standard V bar. And also work with rear flex draw Stiffener bar. So that means must install front and back. BTW all parts are Japanese DOT approved and follow DOT laws. May odd to you but according to Subaru it’s all aero parts are functional.
@@emansfield2017 I’m not mad the Subaru life isn’t for the broke people 👍🏻 I agree with him getting oem shit from Subaru is way overpriced so nothing to be salty about
Its not just broke people avoiding subies, its people who know theyre going to get better performance for less money, oem or aftermarket in different platforms. Not blowing your bank to only make 400hp is also a wise financial decision.
I think it is nice, but for the $4K… not worth IMO. I’d take the magnetic keyhole covers tho, those are actually kinda nice lol! Can’t wait for the build!!
@@Samitsy. lol! Yeah, even from Calvin's face, he says it all!! I think it def. appeals to enthusiasts that's for sure tho! To each their own, your money your build is my motto!

Although the subtle effects of the STI kit are cool, a STREETHUNTER DESIGN kit would be insane. Stage I being mello, and stage II being “mello-dramatic”, and maybe a stage III that’s off the richter scale.
So here’s some info The only truly “jdm” piece there is the fender vent add on, which is not offered in America. American fender piece is a little slit that costs $150 ALL the other pieces are offered as options for USDM vehicles. They just were not available right away when you placed your order. If you ordered your brz around December if 2021, you should have had an option to add those aero bits into your order for all USDM orders. Regarding the strut tower bar things. They’re actually supposed to be softer than the original. It’s to provide a more comfortable ride while keeping the same performance… at least that’s what Subaru says about them.
STi offers the flexi-joints in all of their modern suspension parts now. They supposedly offer 99% of the rigidity while offering less NVh. Key factor is the nvh.
@@BlueHokage You got it. It is also supposed to be easier to install. For pretty much everyone the initial reaction is that it is a counterintuitive design but once the ends are in a fixed position, the tension effect is essentially the same

This whole time I thought it was carbon… 🤦🏼♀️ bro paid 4 grand for some wish stick on parts lmao all jokes aside though that’s a little bit of a rip off in my opinion
A lot of times with the OEM body parts with holes is sometimes they give a hole and you have to drill it and put a push clip in yourself. Even PDI'ing cars with factory mud flaps, a lot of times the mud flaps would have holes that were left empty.
As an STI owner and long time Subaru rally fan, Subaru has SERIOUSLY gave enthusiasts the finger in so many ways! The new BRZ is really cool, but come on Subaru, go big! Too bad there’s not much money in enthusiast cars, people buy CUV’s and EV’s
Calvin can't sell his BRZ, I still remember the day when he switched the DRL and Fog functions. First video that started it all for me watching you guys.
I really can't get on board with the BRZ or the 86. The customized ones from Tokyo Auto Salon look incredible, but as a stock car it's incredibly bland. I'm looking forward to seeing what Streethunter does with it. I wonder if it's possible to do an STi 2.5 Turbo Boxer motor swap.
I always liked how these cars have the diff and trans lined up straight, and not at a angle like most cars. A lighter driveshaft would be one of my first upgrades, and it's a legal mod, weight reduction, more power to wheels, shouldn't void a warranty. TJ's rich, he can afford a carbon fiber driveshaft.
I hope you take inspiration from details on OEM parts not just fitment but little things to make it simple for everyone to install. I’m literally in school for collision repair in Long Beach because you inspired me. It would be a dream to work for you or SOS Customs when I get done.
The markings underneath the front bumper are used for reference with the templates and not the actual location of where the holes should be drilled! It only a slight difference but it sticks the lip out a couple more mm
I’ve an interest in the 86/BRZ and was glad to be able to see this installation. I think it’s worth it if you’re a fan of it. Otherwise no need. A plain car should suffice.
Some reasons why I only got the shift knob, Push button and fender garnish for my build. Some japan company is making an sti wing that resembles the actual sti for the brz. Looking forward to that.
Duuuude now you have to make it a real sti, big brakes, seats, steering wheel, hood scoop, rally wing, AWD, a real engine jajajaja it will look awesome men
The vent inserts on the fenders in front of the doors look nice. Anyone know if there will be a way to replace the duckbill rear spoiler with something different? Or the side rocker body fins?
I went for just the exterior add ons for my silver BRZ. Cost around $3.3K AU (Australia whee everything costs more), plus silver alloy wheels for another 3.3K. Midlife crisis.
from what I've heard at least with wrx stis, sti makes a flexible tower brace to loosen the front end and prevent understeer while still having some rigidity. But who knows lol.
I love how you have a beautiful garage with all your lifts but you guys decided to use a floor jack😂😂 makes a throwback theme though so I really enjoy it
I feel like that little bit should all just be base model parts or maybe a premium trim and let STI actually focus on adding some performance to the car
Not worth 4 G’s but when you buy from the dealership at the same time you are buying the car I can see people doing it. And also when the new year comes etc the parts are not available anymore. So low inventory creates the demand.
My favorite part is how Calvin n Teej were more genuinely impressed with the lock cover than all the STI bits haha
It’s magnetic dude 😦
Was the only mod worth it other than maybe the oil cap
yup

the shift knob and the engine mods (except that sti sticker on the coolant cap or what that was) looks pretty cool too tho
i think it would look a lot better if everything was paint matched. sti didnt really have black exterior parts back then 🤷🏾♂️

I think the exterior side parts would look better if they were color matched. They seem to stand out just a bit much.
Only the rear extensions would look better paint matched

Type s is Honda trd or gr for Toyota

Yes, yes they do know how to roast STI
Thanks for the laughs boys
Calvin can't sell his BRZ, I still remember the day when he switched the DRL and Fog functions. First video that started it all for me watching you guys.
Man, Subaru/STI have dropped the ball big time, haven’t done much in a while that’s been good. Those prices are extortion
@22:51 Calvin: "But if it's for stiffening wouldn't you want that to not.." Teej: "We don''t question STI Calvin!!!" Lmaoooo
I ain't one to tell people how to work on their cars but god dayum use at least one jack stand D:
I like this guy. TJ is getting more, and more enjoyable to watch. He's super comfortable with the camera nowadays
Cant wait to see what you do next with jdm part of your cars and when you finally put work into that mk4 Supra!
That’s how factory lip should look, subtle but aggressive

Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
Greg Gonzalez has been managing my trade for months and I keep making profits every week, I made $9,130 last week
After all that you give us about half a dozen 2-second jump cuts to look at the car?
Looks better than I expected, think if the sides and rear spats where colour coded it would look better OEM+ 🔥
That "Pimp my ride" segment by Calvin!😂🤣🤣🤣hahahaha!

I already put on the wheel well vent piece. Expensive but it looks great.
I think you should switch your best for LZs best Calvin and yohan should switch places for a week just a suggestion and a great video idea
The markings underneath the front bumper are used for reference with the templates and not the actual location of where the holes should be drilled! It only a slight difference but it sticks the lip out a couple more mm

If you guys played it even more straight sti-submissives, would have killed me from laughing. Was great as is, thanks for taking a hit for the team.
Sara n tune did way more jdm parts to convert her forester including sti Recaro seats
The strut brace idea is actually pretty good according to their explanation
Love the content but please start using jack stands so you can continue to make content! #staysafe
The new brz is definitely growing on me I kinda want one now
I love how they tried to be subtle with the insults but they had a frickin sti roast
Flexible v-bar is designed to work with chassis movement. 100% rigidity doesn't = performance in regard to this part.
This entire video brought me back to the garage built brz!! The og throwbacks!
0:50 ive heard that so many times, where was it
I honestly cannot wait to see a street hunter kit for this car! Please make the new BRZ actually look good!
Crazy to see you at 2 million + subscribers. I remember when you had less than 100k. Hell of a glow up ma boy
Same for us that drive the Subaru Forester XT. We didn’t get anything. The jp got some aero and badges
I like the simple look of the kit
It has a ball joint underneath the STI badge btw. It actually helps..
Hey TJ do you know when the garage build is going to start, at your house?
I love how Calvin’s reminding us of the 4K cost while working in a gold Dayton
Some reasons why I only got the shift knob, Push button and fender garnish for my build. Some japan company is making an sti wing that resembles the actual sti for the brz. Looking forward to that.

I cant believe you spent that much money and support this kind of practice.
Ricky's evil laugh's great, such a dad
*It's time to realize that STI has become an appearance package.*
need the black wing to offset to blue to black look,,,
Let’s be honest, I’m Japan STI is like the TRD for the US. Just flashy accessories to give it a more “aggressive” look to stand out.
Would look great painting all the rear bumper and side in the oem color. That blue is a great color
This video was genuinely funny…u been on a role lately🤝🖤
Is it me or is there a green eclipse in the back that looks pretty cool at 21:09??!!!
You should use a step bit while drilling into plastic and it won’t pull into the plastic like a normal bit will.
Brooo lmn when the restocks on the website go down, I want to cop a couple hoodies and shirts
genuinely where did you get the key hole cover? need dis for one of dem there real sti's
It’s crazy that $4k would change my life right now and it costed that much for this kit…love it tho Teej
It’s crazy that that’s probably someone’s rent.
Yeah they once again let everyone down. These cars need more love then what "sti" is giving them. Can't wait to see what tj does with this 100%
