The more time we spend with our 2022 Subaru BRZ helps us understand why its tight band of dedicated owners have been scouring our catalog to find just the right products to bring their vision into focus and get their car exactly where it needs to be.

A selection of Top Five companies and their products are then featured within a monthly video presentation hosted by Subimods CEO Nick Nazzaro to confirm both their overwhelming popularity and impact on the enthusiast- which we share to hopefully help with those important upgrade decisions and investments.
Intro: 2022 Subaru BRZ Product Makers
AlphaRex , a fast growing group of automotive lighting manufacturers out of California is charging forward with confidence since their launch only six years ago. Walking away with an impressive premiere at SEMA 2019 proved to be a great springboard as their innovative headlight applications have carved their "unrivalled lighting" tagline into the hearts of enthusiasts from around the globe. Jacksonville Florida's Lit Logos is another company who gets repeat attention from the Subaru tribe but strictly due to their stunning exterior additives which consistently prompt conversations of admiration and envy between enthusiasts anywhere their products shine.

In our video feature, Nick Nazzaro quickly reviews the Alpharex offering and shares some thoughts."You've seen a lot of cars through the SEMA show last year with these", Nazzaro explains. "A beautiful kind of outer ring...that illuminates." Alpharex is such a stylish and attractive brand it was easy for the team at Subimods to select it for a car in our stable. "This is the taillight we're actually using - on our BRZ", Nazarro confirms. "A lot of people go for the Light Smoke or Dark Smoke lenses. We've seen a lot of people moving over to the Red now including us." A great, quality design without being too obscure and fanciful, the Alpharex LUXX-Series keeps it solid and consistent while maintaining a unique sense of style that keeps people looking. "The beautiful part - it kind of gives you that OEM look but the subtle feature ads the LED upgrades, the sequential features", Nazarro said. The Alpharex LUXX-Series LED Tail Lights will give a stunning upgrade to both the aesthetics and functionality of your 2022 Subaru BRZ allowing you and any onlooker to also experience an exclusive light sequence when the parking lights are activated."Things like that really break it apart and give you that OEM plus feel.

This product also offers an iOS + Android compatible Bluetooth controller that allows the driver to adjust the light color through its W chip independently giving the 2022 Subaru BRZ owner incredible flexibility. In this section of our video, Nazzaro confirms how popular the Lit Logo brand has become with the Subimods customer. "Lit logos is a brand that's just exploded for us", confirms Nazzaro.

NUMBER 3: Verus Engineering Pinch Weld Jack Pucks
Slipping into the third slot of our Top Five list is a product that many may not think of when asked to describe their favorite modification or more coveted aftermarket product, but it has obviously climbed into a high place in our customer's mind due to it's over all purpose - ensuring the safety of the driver while addressing a maintenance issue at the track or elsewhere when a jack is needed and the conditions are less that perfect. Every Subaru owner knows that the pinch welds on your vehicle that were created at the factory during the time of manufacturing can be damaged or ruined while performing standard maintenance tasks which include the use of a jack to change a tire or access the underside of the vehicle, especially while at the track or off-road. Verus Engineering has developed the Pinch Weld Jack Puck designed to stay on the vehicle to both protect and reduce this type of damage from happening in any situation. During the latest video presentation about this product, Nick shares a few insights to clarify why this product is an important and an obvious smart choice for those 2022 Subaru BRZ drivers wishing to put safety first."A lot of times you get the pinch welds - you put a jack on them over time they'll fold, they'll roll", Nazzaro explains. "It's just not fun right? Especially when the more you jack the car up and the more you're on what I would call 'uneven surfaces'...", he said. "Maybe on the track, maybe on the dirt. You know you're not getting a good bite on the pinch. Things can happen.", he warns. Verus Engineering developed this product to easily install on the vehicle in under 30 minutes while making no permanent modifications. "These plates...help give that jack a really good bite. It also will help increase safety. When you get that jack the last thing you want to do is get a car up on a Jack and for some reason either the pinch folds or it comes off the Jack. You're risking life, limb, or at least limb...sometimes life before you can get a jack stand underneath it." Since this product is designed to install on the vehicle, Verus wanted to provide a somewhat stylish color option to satisfy the driver who wants to make sure the overall personality of the2022 Subaru BRZ is solid and balanced, even though it is a component out of sight and out of mind. This product comes in black but is also available in red and blue to alert any mechanics, technicians, or auto shop staff to only jack up the car from the specific, predetermined locations. "Definitely something you're going to want for the track drivers," Nazzaro confirms. Another great product addition for your favorite 2022 Subaru BRZ which can be found within our online catalog.
NUMBER 2: A'PEXi N1 Evolution Damper Coilover Kit
The popularity and adoption of some products is a clear indication that owners and drivers of specific platforms are moving from just modifying their vehicles to be impressive daily rides and visually impressive show cars to becoming full functional, competitive, and noticeable track performers. Taking an impressive seat in the number two chair in April, our Japanese friends at A'PEXi have given a gift of quality and intelligent engineering to all those 2022 Subaru BRZ faithful who are taking this journey to the track on the back of superior handling, iconic stability, and unrivaled expertise. The A'PEXi N1 Evolution Damper Coilover Kitis one sampling of suspension innovation developed into a product that aligns specifically with the 2022 Subaru BRZ personality profile and its desire to be more, do more, and show more than other vehicles in its class. This product stands alone as A'PEXi's track-engineered flag ship N1 suspension that features a number of impressive and robust components within its assembly including a large piston and a mono-tube design which is fully height adjustable, specifically offering a 25-Way damping force adjustment to adapt to a variety of driving conditions via the threaded base design all while not compromising the travel of the springs or shocks. In general, A'PEXi has gained an understanding of what is needed for extreme performance by studying the suspension data pulled from motorsports activity around the world which constantly adjusts and improves their thinking on designs and priorities around what is truly needed on specific platforms. Subimods has been working with this new product line from A'PEXi since 2023 and it has not been a surprise to see it quickly gain popularity within our customer base and climb to the number two position on April's Top Five Product list. "We brought them on and they have done very well." Nazzaro explains while moving down the Top Five list. "A'PEXi coilovers have been offered for many years now. It's a very good entry level Coilover, but steps above what some would consider 'entry level'...", he adds. While he continues speaking about A'PEXi during the video presentation, Nazzaro explains why this company and their product have been so impactful and adopted so quickly by the Subimods customer and why they continue to provide a level of high value and quality to the Subaru enthusiast."You're getting your camber adjustment, your dampening adjustment, independent height, suspension adjustability, right?", he confirms. “Again, there are a lot of options for Coilovers. There's a lot of price ranges - but when you look at what you're getting from A'PEXi and you look at the quality of the product, and the years they've been in the industry, it's not shocking to see this come in at the second position." Give the N1 Evolution Damper Coilover Kit and other A'PEXi suspension products for your 2022 Subaru BRZ a careful look while scanning the Subimods online catalog .
NUMBER 1: COBB Flashkit w/ OTS Calibrations
Every month a company along with its highly ranked product jumps to the top of the stack and claims the number one spot on the Top Five Product List .

COBB Tuning's Flashkit with OTS Calibrationsfor the 2022 Subaru BRZ is an amazing solution which engages with EcuTek's dongle and software , a well-known performance provision to channel the powerful feature set exclusive to the COBB Tuning platform. When the customer selects specific map slots depending on preference, each map can incorporate different features that have been customized by COBB which could include Traction Control, Engine Safety Measures - including the vehicle's oil & water and/or coolant temperatures, and also Valet Mode . This solution also gives drivers the option to choose between the map slots by utilizing the vehicle's cruise control stalk or by activating this functionality through the COBB mobile app and the custom map slot presets. Any 2022 Subaru BRZ enthusiast will confirm that their platform is a satisfying ride when it drives off the showroom floor, but move to the next level of joy when upgrades are put in place to tweak performance and enhance tuning. When a driver wants to pursue an inspired dream flavored with the feeling of track under their wheels, they would benefit from investigating an ECU Tuning solution like this to give a little boost to their factory standard. Overall, the numbers will show a minimal increase in power, but tapping into the custom feature set provided by COBB's Flashkit will bring a significant improvement to your 2022 Subaru BRZ drivability and performance when pushed in a competitive situation. At the conclusion of the Top Five video presentation, Nick Nazzaro spoke about the COBB Flashkit, its position on the list, its true value, its overall impact on the 2022 Subaru BRZ platform, and why this product truly helps provide important performance and support in challenging conditions. "This has been probably the most notable release for the BRZ this year from Cobb.", Nazzaro confirms. “Their EcuTek collaboration has really changed the way that we look at BRZ calibration. A lot of times when we were training on this product, the big question was, 'Well why doesn't it make so much power?' Well, It's not like a COBB Access Port for a WRX where you're seeing gains of 50 to 60 horsepower...It adds a lot of features to an already great platform that truthfully, in my opinion, doesn't really need a lot of power", he says with confidence. "That's not what that car is. We want to utilize that power. We want to make it safe. We want to make it last and be able to stay out on the track all day. That helps us here [at Subimods], so, it doesn't surprise me that we're seeing this at the top position.", he adds.
