Likely it's coming to CS, since it's got no better suspension than you can legally install on a base model. We're only moving to BS if we prove an overdog, and I don't think that's going to happen.
Glad to see that may happen. I guess the BRZ guys are SOL unless an argument can be made on Make/Model/Platform.

I agree. It's very unlikely the FRS with the TRD springs and swaybars will make it an overdog. The FRS will stay in CS.

Lol ashamed to say this was me. I wrote this at the slow end of a very long day at work. Far from my best (or even average) writing, and I knew while typing it that I wasn't making my point as clearly as I'd like. Just didn't really care at the time.

So with the new spring / bar ruling, what other FR-S options were port installed that we wouldn't normally be able to add? I thought there was a TRD intake and TRD short shift kit on the list...

Those are dealer installed, nor port installed so they're not legal.

So what were the specific port installed options? Only the sway bars and springs? I guess we need to see specific Scion dealer documentation on this.

Yes... saw that. Maybe I'm not being clear.

There were other port installed options (like the bumper appliques).

That's the official list I'd like to see I guess. That letter only referenced the spring and bar options...

Here's the BRZ list: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5715

I'm having trouble finding the port installed list for the FR-S.

Like this list... but there's no specification of port installed or dealer installed:

Not to interrupt the TRD spring discussion but here is a shameless crosspost. I put my Velox wheels up FS in the FS section:

Go talk to you local Scion dealer. Unless their sales guy sucks, they will be able to bring up all the port options in their Scion Accessories Sales Guide database.
Seek and you shall find!!

Well we had our season SCCA opener and I got meet another user from here. Another good driver. Strangely there were only 2 of us in C street and he ended up beating me by almost a second. I ended up paxing 25/102 so it wasn't too bad. 50's with extremely high winds. On my best run I actually ruined it by avoiding boxes that were blown across the course which made me go slow and tight with a lil box slalom that wasn't suppose to be there. All day cones were simply dancing so it was a "dynamic" course that seemed like it slightly changed from run to run lol. On ot the vid with bonus footage of my first of many spins this season. This was still on 215 rs3 v2 as the Rivals are on backorder till the end of time
