BRZ stock suspension on FR-S
I would like to eliminate some of the oversteer in the FR-S but I don't want to spend a fortune in a suspension package. I'm not interested in lowering my car.
Easiest way to change the handling is by installing a BRZ suspension. Has anybody done it? Happy with the results?? Thanks |

Just took off my BRZ suspension and installed KW Clubsports. Would be happy to sell you mine if you like.

You may want to look into a bigger front bar and/or stiffer front springs to reduce the oversteer and it won't cost a fortune
IIRC the only difference is that the BRZ has stiffer springs so that would probably be the cheapest route. I'd look in the members classified since a lot of people have made the switch to coilovers.

BRZ has stiffer front springs, that's all you need.
I'm currently running FRS rear springs on my BRZ and I love how it handles. As mentioned its also a good idea to run a stiffer front swaybar to keep the rear tires on the ground and the diff doing its job. Also some front camber bolts will help as well. |

just unhook one of the endlinks on the rear swaybar. thats free so i would at least check to see what that does before you go and do something that radical.

They're both pretty neutral, but if you try to carry too much speed into a corner both will push, and if you get on the gas too soon both will want to spin.

Here is a FRS on TEIN SRC which actually is set to have a more neutral suspension setup (10k/12k spring rates). It rotates much better than stock. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCWz5ymLKrI&feature=c4-overview&list=UUssD66G2tXsV-u24rhQUdkg"]Scion FRS vs Porsche GT3 86Fest II - YouTube[/ame] |

Maybe mods to "limit throttle on oversteer" would better describe what they are after?
