Stock Springs, same between FRS 2013 and 2015? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

cdo221 · 02-23-2015, 12:01 AM

Does anybody know or can confirm that the springs did not change between the 2013 FRS and 2015 FRS?

From all the research that I've done on this, I've read that the shocks/dampers are different, (switched manufacturers and the stiffness is different as well), but I haven't read anything about the springs. Anybody know what exactly changed in the suspension on the 2015 FR-S?

I can't say if is the same spring but the suspension it's really different, i live in quebec and here the road is equal to afganisthan road and with this suspension you feel all bump really hard.

They said it looses its oversteer, although I dont know if that has to do with the dampers being stiffer or the springs.

Believe it or not I have yet to find a local with a 2015.

My guess is only the shocks are different and not the springs, but I do not know for sure.

Not according to the parts catalog, same part numbers for front & rear springs, 2013, 14 & 15.

it's not uncommon for there to be same parts numbers but different internal engineering "revisions", just something to consider

Knowing Subaru at least that means they're the same.

Actually I work at a Toyota dealership, Toyota's part numbers are the same for the springs at least. No revisions or supercessions to date.

Wasn't it just supposed to be adding the BRZ bolts to the FRS and otherwise identical? Or am I thinking '13 to '14?

Yep, that's 13 to 14 change. There is a New damper manufacturer (Sachs) for 15 models, but apparently the springs haven't changed.
