stock height stiffer springs?
 

anyone makes those?

I think your only solution are coilovers with longer springs to get the static height up at the expense of droop travel.

*except Ohlins R&T which I think can be run at stock height without longer springs.

May I ask what your reasoning for wanting that is?

One option is to contact Ground Control. They make everything custom by the order and will help you with whatever you need.

Easiest way is to get some type of TRD/STi sport springs, with minimal drop and stiffer rate.

And virtually every type of coilover can be raised to stock height if it features proper design.

trivial, driveway clearance. i have a pretty steep driveway to the sidewalk. tried the rubber driveway/curb ramp but it didn't work as the shape underneath didn't match mine.

i thought about coilovers but it's like 'killing a mosquito with cannon'. it's my DD and wouldn't be using the coils to their full potential.

Custom order for sure. Wont likely find a place selling higher rate springs at stock spring lengths.
Coilovers some will allow you stock height but as said $$ and overkill.

BRZ front springs on your FRS and it will be plenty stiff at stock height.

@Kostamojen thank you for advice

does anyone actually know the stock FRS and BRZ rates (front and rear)?

nevermind, found it:

FYI I'm trying out the stiffer rear FRS springs with the stiff front BRZ springs and I like it a lot, I'm really satisfied. Make sure to get some camber bolts for the front too and maybe a front swaybar.

I saw the question and wondered the same thing and immediately thought "dude must be from the Northeast where most of our roads suck."

I'm on stock suspension with a lip kit and I've scraped that thing just driving on the street, forget about driveways and stuff!

I wanted it to be a rallycar project :P

Stiffer and OEM length springs won't necessarily give you the factory ride height. All things equal, a stiffer spring with the same OEM length will actually make your ride height taller than factory. This is because a stiffer spring will compress less when you lower the floor jack. Conversely, softer springs will let the spring "sag" more when you lower the floor jack.

What's your reasoning for going with stiffer spring rates? Factory springs are just fine for daily driving purposes.

I'm not in a rush right now to add extra weight, the more so upfront. :)

Heh, when I lived in NY I bottomed my tranny in down town manhattan on a stock height civic, had to get a new one.

I did't say 'oem lenght' I said stock height - that is car sitting at the same height on stiffer springs as the car on oem springs. I hope it's clear now.

Are you implying that all people who DD their cars and install coils or springs do it only because they think lowered car looks pretty?

What weight?

i just looked it up - apparently aftermarket front swaybar is just 1.5-2.5 lbs heavier. not too bad.

maintain OEM static geometry

maintain OEM damper travel (for optimal damper operation and comfort)

if spring balance is maintained, car balance is maintained while increasing weight transfer speed (response) and increasing roll resistance.

i'd want something like this...

Well in that case why not just go balls out and do something like Robispec where he's dropped 3" and maintains OEM geometry and travel. Oh wait, I forgot not all of us have like 5k laying around to dump into that :P

Ground control sleeve kit may work... Cheap... And I think you can order whatever spring rates you want.

that looks interesting, thx a bunch!
