FR-S vs BRZ on Track Review by EverydayDriver
 
I think these guys did a really good job of describing the toyobaru. I really liked how each one preferred fr-s or brz for personal reasons and not necessarily technical difference (as much).

Hope you enjoy.

Sorry for the newb question (I haven't been able to follow all the threads here as much as I want to).

How does Toyota accomplish a more oversteer-happy car?
* Stiffer rear springs and/or softer front springs?
* Stiffer rear shocks and/or softer front shocks?
* Stiiffer rear sway bar and/or softer front sway bar?
* Alignment settings?

** A combination of the above?

FR-S & BRZ suspension difference is the front... so softer shocks & springs in the front

From what I remember, the FR-S has softer front springs with relatively higher damping than the BRZ.

Wow, interesting how the brz and frs represent different driving styles...

I had a chance to drive both and honestly I did not feel a difference. Than again, im not a professional driver.

I've driven both, and I definitely prefer the chassis tuning of the FR-S, much to my surprise. Their character is different enough that IMO you have to drive both to figure out which you prefer.

Great video again from EverydayDriver. Thanks for sharing! :thanks:

I honestly choose the FS-S because it was about 3k cheaper. I like the LEDs on The BRZ better but thats about the only thing. Only if we could get the asian headlights on the frs!
