The front end never washed out, but the back end always stepped out when you were thinking about going near the throttle mid corner. The BRZ needed a bit more tossing to break loose.
I ended up choosing the BRZ, not related to the handling differences though. Although I always found it interesting that a simple spring change made the character between the cars so significantly different feeling.

I'm definitely testing both this time around.
My 86 test didnt show up anything, I was just giddy with excitement.
Honestly I didn't even know how hard to go or what I was looking for in a RWD car when I first got it back in 2012 - my last car was the equivalent to your matrix xrs (Corolla Sportivo - but ours came with the jp spec 141kw 2zz), and before that it was a 1998 holden astra (really the german Opel Astra rebadged).
But now I do know what to look for in a RWD car - thankyou OG 86.
