Automobile Magazine review: 2015 suspension changes
 
I've been poking around the forums looking to get the scoop on the 2015 BRZ suspension. There's precious little detail available.

But now Automobile Magazine has reviewed the 2015 FR-S, and they rave about the revamped suspension. I suspect the BRZ suspension's changes are very similar. Without further ado:

Thanks - great read. And very interesting - if Subaru has not made the same changes the FR-S may be the one to get now.

Nonetheless I get a bit skeptical when I read sentences like this one from the review....
"...we're already cringing as we get ready for this rear-wheel-drive car to sit down on its outside rear tire and get all drifty as it has typically done in the past." Two years ago the reviewer hacks were were all raving about how they preferred the more playful and throttle-adjustable oversteer of the FR-S over the stolid BRZ... then the moment the FR-S is changed the old setup is suddenly "cringe-inducing". :rolleyes:

EDIT: Ninja'ed....there's already a thread on this review over in the FR-S area, someone making a related point there...

Suspension is already on most modder's to do list, so I'm not terribly worried about it.
