Front overhang: FR-S vs. BRZ

Does anyone know if the front bumper overhang is longer/lower in the FR-S vs. the BRZ?

In pictures it looks like the BRZ is a bit shorter but the FRS also looks higher. I know this might seem trivial but I have a steep driveway and any little bit of clearance will help!

they are about the same. optical illusion makes the FRS seems a bit longer. plus if you havent put down a preorder yet and dont want to pay markup, you have time to redo your drive way.

If your NSX can get up your driveway safely and easily then the frs/brz should have no problem.

That's the problem. It's a dancing act everytime with that car

Even if it's a difference of 1" i'll take it. That's the difference between a front lip vs. no front lip. Sounds little but it's often enough.
