The BRZ has 153/195 #/in springs and is a little more pushy than the FRS. In concept, putting on the same size bar (as you would on the FRS) would make the BRZ understeer more. For a Strano bar, I get a 73.1% TLLTD (a tad more push). To get the same handling characteristics, a smaller bar than the FRS would make more sense - say a 21mm. The tradeoff would be more body roll with the smaller bar.
Has anyone taken this into account?
Is there any appreciable difference between an FRS and a BRZ with the same sway bar?
Or am I trying to apply too much logic to stock class? Put on a big ass bar and race it.
