So The ride is Rough for me. I know decreasing the tire pressure will help, but would a taller sidewall help as well? And Would raising the car an inch help? I dont mind sacrificing a bit of cornering ability, I just want to smooth it out a bit. Any advice appreciated. Thanks  |
You have 4.9 in of ground clearance already. Buy a set of mud flaps for a FRS GT86 from your Toyota dealer and you'll be good to go. 2017 suspension will be fine for rough roads. Don't lower tire pressures though, not the solution.
A set of 205/55 x 16 tires on 16 in Impreza rims would work very well. Standard fitment for the BRZ in some markets like Australia.
Every BRZ should fit the transmission mount insert. Slight increase in gear noise idle is a very small price to pay for stability of the shifter.
I'd consider fitting a set of MCA traction brackets to reduce anti squat forces from the rear. That improves traction and ride.
