So I’m finally done with my suspension spec out for my 13brz. Looking for some advise
Bilstine B6, OE BRZ front spring 2.7k, OE FRS rear spring 3.8K, OE front sway 18mm (+1 if require), 15mm rear sway, Enkei rpf1 17x8, +45mm, on 225x45x17. Plus whiteline rear subframe blushing insert. Total parts cost w/o tires is under 2K. I’m hoping to achieve minimal drop, little more grip (stock engine), better balance towards oversteer. It’s mostly for DD, but eventually like to do track. Thanks. Last edited by wu_dot_com; 01-30-2018 at 04:41 PM. |

Perfect, this is exactly what I’m looking for, -2 to -1.5 for the front camber. Since I’m planning to use OE top hat, can this adjustment be done with $50 camber bolts? Please advise. |

And just be sure you take it to a good competent alignment shop.

hey guys, new to the forum and modding but ive had stock long enough and want to change. i have a 2014 frs with 95,000 km and was looking at lowering springs but after reading they have a chance to blow and not to blow but since i have many miles on it should i get the new 2017 shocks to go with some springs(rsr/eibach/tein 1.2-1.4") or just buy aftermarket shocks? thanks

The 2017 are still OEM and were not exactly designed for aftermarket springs unless you get the Sachs dampers from the BRZ PPs. Using 2017 dampers is most likely not going to be any different than using dampers from 2013-2016. Also, the RCE Yellows are a good option as they were designed for OEM shocks and struts and they only lower the car 20mm
