Most tail happy lowering springs?
 

So what is the most tail happy set of lowering springs out there? Is it just between TRD and Swift springs FR-S spec to consider? Looking for around but not more than a 1 inch drop

Thanks!

Read the sticky on the top of this section... spring rates are listed.
"Sticky: BRZ/FR-S Suspension Options List (Springs and Coilovers)"

Yeah was reading that but not sure it answered my question. Is it really as simple as looking for whatever spring rates have the biggest difference between front and rears?? Cuz don't they also translate a bit different when on the car? Sorry I'm new especially with suspension

Short answer= Yes.
Long answer= edit* thanks @ZDan Wheel rate is spring rate multiplied by motion ratio SQUARED.

Also how changes in alignment affect handling. Especially rear toe out.

there is no "most tail happy springs". if you want to be tail happy, get rear biased(stiffer) springs.

And what size and type of wheels and tires.

Go here, register, and start learning from these guys.

They wont sell you springs, but if you're willing to listen they can help you learn how to do what you're probably trying to do with some degree of sanity.

Wouldn't a different rear sway bar affect the "tail happiness" more?

If you want more tail hapy, put shitty tires on the rear and have fun

I'm on stocks lol

It does sound like a better plan to learn how to handle before changing parts out

I just had to quote for emphasis

You are the first reasonable person I have ever seen on a forum to actually go "hmmm, maybe getting more knowledge is a good idea first".

Kudos

imo alignment has a huge impact on balance, you can add and remove grip just by turning a few screws. Get whatever lowering springs you feel suit you, sounds like TRD/Eibach or Swift make the most sense and then adjusting camber and sway bars will get you whatever you want.

One of the best setups I've had on this car was camber bolts and camber plates and some good tires.

Good luck.

+1

Also, stock tires are fine. They are predictable and talk to you plenty before they give up.

Oh yeah, didn't mean to imply the OE Michelin's weren't good, only being totally honest in that I had some Dunlop ZII SS on at the time...

Oh, I didn't read it that way at all. Good tires are good too. :D

I was actually responding to OP's earlier lol about being on stockers. No shame in that.

raise rear tire pressure to 40+ psi, it be tail happy

the best way to be the totally tail happy is to put your car on ALL FOUR DONUTS

Another one watched Chris Harris AMG donut stunt :)
It may work for short fun run, but i wouldn't think of really considering using it, even if just on one track-day. Given them being speed/load limited, i wouldn't be able to rely on them lasting much if subjected to heavy drifting abuse, at least not even close as if on normal tires.

Maybe. ARB is a good tuning tool, but when mine was too "loose", I actually stiffened the front up, to get the handling more neutral. That's why I like front and rear adjustable ARB's.

I may be confused. To me, ARB is a company that makes pneumatic locking differentials and random other off-road toys.

Anti Roll Bar :)

Grazie.

To the OP, I can adjust my r at s at bar to a stiffer position to make the tail hang out more easily. $200 solution, although I don't do it to that purpose.

What's an r at and s at bar?

rear anti sway bar

WTH? Stupid autocorrect, shoulda proof read that. Sway bar in the back. I have an adjustable sway bar, That when I set it to a stiffer setting, I can slide all over. Discovered by accident of course:lol:
