RCE Yellow vs Eibach Prokit - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey everyone! I just wanted to get some personal reviews on these two springs and how people are liking them. I know the name difference is the height and also spring rates but I'm not sure which is better performance wise.

I also wanted to know if people got the drop they expected from these springs or after they settled was lowered more

I drove a local guys car with the prokit and I've been riding on yellows for over a year.

I highly recommend RCE Yellows. The spring rates work well with the cars suspension geometry and the stock dampers. This gives better comfort and performance. The drop is pretty well what I was expecting. I didn't measure it though.

The prokit was down right harsh and to my mind ruined the feel of the car. They would probably work well with aftermarket dampers but I haven't tried that.

If you can come thursday to dim sum in fremont you can probably get a ride in my car and @PMok back to back to see DD comfort.

I think the ProKit is progressive? Which may or may not feel good depending on your driving characteristics. The Racecomps are not, and seem to be some of the best springs out there if you want pretty close sprint rates front to back. If you want your car to rotate more (IE: more FRS and less BRZ), you may want to try other brands since both of these keep their spring rates pretty similar.
