Interesting, because there is conflicting info on a thread here showing the FR-S to be far more tail-happy than the GT86- to whit:
SPRINGS Front/Rate Rear/Rate Part # MSRP
OEM Toyota 86 0.0"/3.0k 0.0"/3.3k TBD $---
OEM Scion FR-S M/T 0.0"/2.3k 0.0"/3.8k F:SU003-04144 $83.90
OEM Scion FR-S A/T 0.0"/2.3k 0.0"/3.8k F:SU003-04145 $83.90
OEM Subaru BRZ M/T 0.0"/2.7k 0.0"/3.5k F:20330CA010 $79.70
OEM Subaru BRZ A/T 0.0"/2.7k 0.0"/3.5k F:20330CA020 $79.70
This from a
semi-official WoW FAQ. If this is correct, barring differences in the struts, the UK/Euro GT86 should actually understeer more than the BRZ given its harder front springs and softer rears.
