We’ve been working quietly for a while now on our
RCE Yellow springs specifically for 2nd gen Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 and are getting close to release. We know a lot of people have been waiting for these since they're one of the most popular spring sets for the 1st gen and the go-to choice for anyone looking for a performance lowering spring.
A little background on RCE Yellows…for every platform that we make these, they're always a
function-oriented spring set…not simply a “style” change. We know our customers care about performance so compromising there just isn’t something we do. And so for 1st gen cars you’ll see these even on some fairly well-prepped cars, including on other companies’ shop and track cars (which is cool!).
Spring rates are 280 lbs/in (5 kg/mm) front and rear.
Lowering amount is 25mm front and rear, retaining factory rake.
These work really well with the factory dampers for both cars, retain great ride quality, and perform well. The car is still playful, but the added roll stiffness is very beneficial on track especially for the front McPherson strut suspension. Designing springs has some interesting compromises, but if you do it right, you can make an impressive and positive change to the car.
Yes, a
good set of height-adjustable coilovers is the way to go for more hardcore track or autocross use, but not all coilovers are good. These springs are an excellent choice for those looking for an inexpensive but functional suspension upgrade.
RCE Yellows for 2nd gen will be ready for purchase in Spring of 2025. Stay tuned for more.
