Exedy Clutch kit
Ganjaslav
  • Engagement smoothness:
  • Noise:
Rating 4.0

I just had the clutch replaced this week with the Exedy FJK1005 OEM kit. Since yesterday I have noticed a consistent humming sound whenever the vehicle is decelerating/coasting in gear. This goes away when the throttle is engaged and I accelerate. It's a very consistent low bassy hum, no rattle or metallic clanking. Only happens when in gear and throttle not engaged. I've read that the Exedy dampers in the clutch disc don't block as much sound as the OEM Subaru ones. Besides this the actual function of the clutch is phenomenal and significantly improved from the old worn one. New Exedy flywheel as well.

Pros: phenomenal function, significantly improved
Cons: consistent humming sound, low bassy hum
Vehicle: Subaru BRZ
Part number: FJK1005

Firestone Tires
nukelauncher95
  • Grip:
  • Noise:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 5.0

I've only driven on them for 30 miles but holy crap are these things amazing. These winters grip better in the cold than the crappy Firestone summers my car came on grip the warm. I'm able to launch a 0-60 with minimal wheel spin and without chirping the tires on the 1-2 shift. These are also softer and quieter than any Blizzaks or X-Ice Snows I've had. They're soft and squishy and compliant. They give a great ride and still retain some steering feedback.

Pros: amazing grip, soft, quiet
Vehicle: Subaru BRZ
Mileage: 30 km

Bosch Brake pads
rocketracer777
  • Braking:
  • Noise:
Rating 1.0

I recently replaced all the brake pads on my 2020 brz performance package, and it now squeals way more than before and has a noticeable clunk when pressing the brake pedal especially after reversing. I got Bosch Ceramic QuietCast pads from Rockauto, used ceramic lubricant on the back of the pads and all contact surfaces, and silicone lubricant on the pins. Once I apply a good amount of pressure to the brakes, they're very quiet for awhile but eventually start squealing again. Also I did do the bedding process and it didn't change anything, plus that wouldn't stop the clunking.

Pros: quiet under pressure (initially)
Cons: squeals, clunking noise
Vehicle: Subaru BRZ

OEM Subaru Flywheel
mbb2967
  • Shift smoothness:
Rating 2.0

The flywheel is stupid light, so it spins up incredible quick but also slows down the same, making rev matching and heel toe much more likely to go past red line and bend valves not to mention a very uncivilized engagement if not nearly perfect.

Pros: spins up quick
Cons: stupid light, uncivilized engagement, easy to over-rev
Vehicle: Subaru BRZ
