Rev Works - Asphalt FR-S With Rota Grids and BC Coilovers
 

Just finished installing and setting up an FR-S for our customer Matt @greenguy101, and figured we'd share.

The car came in with a set of Rota Grids in 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 Rear. Factory height just wasn't cutting it and was in need of an adjustment in the form of some BC Racing Coilovers! So we got to work, getting this car to sit pretty for her owner. Matt is an awesome guy and gave us a bit of input as to what he wanted, then he let us run with the ball, having full confidence in our abilities!

With the addition of the new coilovers, we were able to get the ride height exactly where Matt wanted it, and it really helped get the look of his car spot on. The ride quality from the short test drive we went on was great. The car felt much more planted and with the adjustable dampening, it didn't give the feeling of driving on a set of track coilovers, and was very good for a street car. The color combination of these wheels and color of the car, along with the new coilovers, really made this FR-S Stand out!


This is a few before shots.

Here at Rev Works, we anti seize every set of coilovers before installation. This helps prevent issues with adjustment later on down the road. Just one extra step we take, at no charge, when doing an install that most other shops dont.

Thanks for looking, and special thanks to Matt (owner of the car) and BC Racing!

Nice post with before and after pictures. What are the et's of the wheels, the dimensions of the tires and is there any rubbing? what camber angles did you choose to go with?

Said it in another thread, but this car is perfect. Wouldn't change a thing. Nice work!

Big props to the guys at Rev Works!!! I am so fortunate that these guys are local to me!! Thanks again. For you guys that are local, do yourself a favor and give these guys a visit. If you are not local than hit up their website, they have amazing prices on EVERYTHING!!

The wheels are 18x8.5/ 44 offset up front. 18x9.5/ 38 offset in the rear. I have 225/40 on the front and 255/35 in the rear. So far there hasn't been any rubbing at all. If I hit a decent size dip at speed than I get a quick rub against the inner fender liner but nothing serious. They adjusted the camber for me so I can't speak on the angle. Overall I would suggest this setup to anyone who is looking for an entry level coilover system.

wanted to buy bc coilovers next year and I got asphalt too now I know how my car will look like with a drop :thanks:

Looks good!

Just let us know when you're ready for the Coilovers and we'll get you taken care of. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a PM!
