2022 BRZ curb weight is surprisingly low
Just wanted to share. I just weighted my BRZ Limited manual
3/4 full tank 180 lbs driver 25 lbs Spare tire (added by me from old gen) 15 lbs miscellaneous 1640 lbs front axle weight 1380 lbs rear axle weight Weight distribution with driver: 54F/46R Comes to 3020 lbs with driver and everything above Total curb weight 2800 lbs with 3/4 fuel Of note, I have 18” wheel tire upgrade that overall weighs the same as OE wheel-tire package. Also running on Ohlins. No other mods. Last edited by BRZ-G1; 04-06-2023 at 06:32 PM. |

Interesting. That's under advertised weight.
BTW, how do you like the Ohlins? Do you street drive on them? |

Add another 2.5 gallons of gas and you get to 2815lb though.

Love the Ohlins. They drive exceptionally well on the street and are still really good at the track. These are not hardcore track coilovers though. I have changed the front coil springs to 6k spring rate from its original 5k, improving track performance. Again, they are awesome both on the street and the track.

I've put them on a couple of STi we've had and they were great on the street. It made the cars feel more like what you'd get from a higher end brand. The BRZ being smaller and lighter had me concerned that they might be too harsh on the street. Glad to hear they've properly adjusted their recipe. Thanks again! |

Dry weight meaning no coolant/oil/transmission or diff fluid, and fuel.

My '98 Ouback Sport, '04 STi, and '19 Ford T150 all matched the claimed weights. Our landfill has scales on the way in and out so it's a convenient way to weigh cars. After the full build out my camper van T150 is 5300lbs. I laugh at how many "daily transportation" vehicles weigh more.

Yeah, I think it's true that there's no industry standard for measuring curb weight. However I just coincidentally found this is the owner's manual. Page 398 of the Owners Manual says this: Curb weight The weight of a motor vehicle with standard equipment including the maximum capacity of fuel, oil and coolant, and if so equipped, air conditioning and additional weight optional engine. |
