JRZ RS Pro coilovers

[FastWhite]

Been searching the web for reviews and thoughts on running these on a BRZ.
I can find lots of reviews and such for BMW’s but not so much for the BRZ.
So, I dare to ask the forum people what they got.
Anybody running these or a different model?
Thoughts on them and would you buy again?
What issues have you had with them?
Other option is the MCE set.

And I know I will be asked, so I am on Tein SRC’s, 30000 + miles, so due for rebuild. I’m a touch anal about my car and I don’t want ANY downtime for the rebuild. I want off/on, alignment shop, get on with life.
The SRC are track oriented, I’m looking for a more Autocross type setup. I do like the SRC’s but time for another product, maybe. Might sell, might not.
Anyways, thoughts.

Imho worth specifying, what tires you run.

MCS is more known in autocross, but JRZ can be very good as well, maybe find a local who has a set and ask for a ride along?

I've been in cars with both, but was paying more attention to the driving than the suspension. Both cars nationally competitive for Street Touring (one was a Miata though)

On RE 71R’s. Generally stick to the 200 tread wear for STX.
I would like to try some crack thou. (R comps)
I’m into the high end as the SRC’s have spoiled me horribly. I do PDX’s and TnA.
It is my DD.

Agreed, but so far no luck. I do like to try different set ups, I’m a techno weenie.
I will research everything to death and measure 5x’s. Always have to play with my settings “just because I can”

Half the reason to buy the baller shocks is to test n tune your setup, I'd call up both companies and ask what they would send you as a baseline, I don't think either has kits sitting on a shelf, they're built to order.

I have been in touch with MCS, lots of good reviews. No one local runs them. Almost no reviews on the JRZ for the twin platform aside from an RCE one way back in 2012 I believe. Both have a few negatives which both companies bent over backwards to fix. The main one running the JRZ are the BMW folk.
Just looking for a review or experience with the JRZ.

I’ll try my initial supplier as well as the local AX chapters.

I can help you spec a set of JRZ for AutoX use.

While there may not be many JRZ reviews, I've personally owned a few different JRZ sets for this platform already and can offer you some guidance.

I have used two sets of JRZ RS (doubles non remote) on two separate cars (both E36 M3s) without any issues.

For the FRS I went with MCS because: they are local (actually in Alpharetta and I suggest paying them a visit), they showed up to the track when I needed them with their engineer to help me fine tune the shocks, we bent the shaft on one of the shocks at 5PM on a saturday at Road ATL, the team came, picked up the shocks, got it rebuilt and had it to us the next day 7:30.

This kind of support is what I value. Plus the shocks do exactly what it is intended to do.

Call Wyatt at MCS.

Good luck.

PS: Both shocks were DA Non remotes and was pleased with both after a fair bit of track time (M3 was on Dunlop slicks and FRS on Hoosier R7).

^^^ THIS. SO MUCH TRUTH.


Wyatt is the man! I have called, emailed him a million times, and each time he gets back to me with a well crafted, thought out response to my questions. Their customer service is second to absolutely no one on planet earth IMHO.


I run their D/A non-remote dampers on my BRZ. Hyperco springs all the way around. LOVE THEM.

When you buy high end, you can't go wrong with any. Generally speaking, support the guys who will support you, as local support is a much larger factor than the damper itself is at that level!

I run JRZ RS Pro 3's. I can only tell you good things about them, quality and performance are just what I was expecting(or even more!)

Their customer support is pretty good as well, they answered all my questions, suggested different options during the ordering process and I only had one issue (they sent the wrong top mounts for the front) and got it sorted within days. Happy customer.
