1. Daily driver - GT type setup
2. Track car - original aero in both vehicles

We're STILL waiting on our preordered test car.
But we have a few things in process already.
I don't expect a
significant change in spring rates for either scenario as overall design/dimensions of the car have not changed much. A lot of the change in handling feel is likely from the increased rigidity of the car and the change in valving on the factory shocks. I think the new platform will make better use of more spring rate, and the front aluminum uprights on the BRZ will make better use of available compression damping. But probably not enough to say...go up the next 50 lbs/in in spring rate.
We'll have a lot more to say soon.
