...This is a little bit firmer overall than the old cars, but not a drastic increase. And remember, the bumpstops are a big part of how these cars handle and those are not included in these rates. Still, the more rearward bias is why the GR86 wants to oversteer a little more than the BRZ...


...A slight difference between the 2 cars and overall that’s somewhat soft. But remember, this doesn’t include those bumpstops. Of course, overall weight and distribution will vary from car to car and driver to driver. You can discuss flat ride amongst yourselves if you like .
If bumps stops play such a large part in the stock suspension setups of both the old and new car why is no one offering different bumpstops to improve handling or comfort? Are they just not sexy enough from a marketing point of view? It seems like it would be a good OEM+ kind of mod.
