whats good lowering springs for frs?
 

wondering if anyone know which brand of lowering springs is good for our frs?

Eibachs are what I would go with. Either the Prokit or the Sportlines.

Sportlines for more of a drop!

depends on the purpose you are lowering the frs for. Is it for looks or performance?

Go coils and save you hassel of going through springs than coils.

Everyone I know buys springs because they are "cheaper" but months later they end up buying coils and trying to sell their springs for next to nothing.

BC Coil Overs are decent, close to $1,000. Good for DD and random track sessions.

I agree totally....was thinking the springs and have been told that performance takes a hit. Coilovers definitely merit some investigation.

Loving my RaceCompEngineering springs so far. Def not coilovers, but they feel very nice.

I'm thinking the RCE yellows for mine, though for looks primarily. I don't want to deal with the hassles of having to get coilovers rebuilt every so many miles, especially as I do 40k/per year. I have also 'heard' that coilovers don't take well to the salt that gets spread around over the winter.

If it was a summer only car then I might consider coilovers.

Mach V's got a set of springs, rides nice.

Any springs are fine really. Just depends on the amount of drop you want. Esp if its a daily driver. Coilovers for our harsh salty Canadian winters are not a great idea. Especially if you're not targeting an extremely low ride or track days.

Although, even for those who are considering tracking their FRS's, I'd caution that the stock damper is extremely well suited the the vehicle. Not only that - but most coilovers are garbage when it comes to handling performance: proper digressive curves + blowoff valves + enough oil or gas volume to truly control the damper well. If you're going coilover - the purpose is track-performance - and thus, you should grab a properly tuned damper that is proven on the track to provide improved wheel control: Penske's, Ohlin's, MOTONs, Motion Controls, JRZ's, AST's, KW's to name a few of the brands you'd want to stick with.

RCE or Swift springs are more performance oriented I believe...

If you want a bit lower and good performance I would go with RCE Yellows or Sprint. I'm leaning towards the Sprint BRZ rates.

i'm going with eibach sportlines closer to the spring, i've had good experiences with them previously.

The stock shocks are pretty stiff, and seem to work nicely with some of the springs we've tried. Including ours.

At the track, the Mach V springs and factory shocks did pretty well. Nice neutral handling, maybe a tad bit of oversteer tendency on corner exit if you tried to get back in the power early.

NASA Mid-Atlantic chief (and multi-time NASA national champ racer) Chris Cobetto liked 'em. That's him driving in the photo above. (I'm in the passenger seat trying not to barf, if memory serves. :))

Mach V

I'd get sportlines, I had them on 2010 Genesis and i loved the Look, the ride was stiff but nothing you don't get used to over time...
