The FRS is not "stiffer". There is a .5-1.0 km/mm difference in spring rates. The FRS having a larger difference front to rear than the BRZ. The BRZ has more comfort options while the FRS is the stripped model/less expensive.

2. The ZL1 is a Auto 10 speed trans. What is the auto in the FRS/BRZ? Does it have paddle shifters? Do you guys recommend the auto or manual for the track? I know your not a man if you dont drive a manual but the A10 in the ZL1 shifts a LOT faster than anyone can a manual. Didnt know how the auto stacks up in these cars and everyone's thoughts.

I drove an auto once and liked it compared to most any other shifted auto. Responsive.

3. Anything we need to stay away from when looking for a FRS/BRZ? Anything we need to look out for? Looking for something stockish to build it. We (our company) are dealers for all major brands so we plan on doing everything ourselves.

2015 and up if youre tracking. No coil pack issues because they updated the engine harness/coils. And they are outside the valve spring recall.

4. Once we get a FRS/BRZ, where should we start? Any "Must Do's"?

Tires, brake pads, and bushings. Either replace the bushings with new stock or go aftermarket.

Thank guys! Hopefully we will become a integral part of this forum one day soon...
