I think you should install the BRZ version

Why? Isn't the brz version stiffer up front which would promote understeer

I would assume the higher front spring rate would help with turn in response, but may cause more understeer.

You are right and the ratio on the BRZ setup will give more balanced driving.

i am by no means an expert driver, but i feel when i realy start pushing the car it oversteers a little too easily with very little throttle. i am realy leaning towards the brz swift or the rce yellows. have yet to make up my mind.

Right now I am riding on 17x8 with 245/40/17 pilot super sports and subi crash camber bolts. The rest is stock. The car feels very planted vs stock with an upgraded wider tire. I have autocrossed the car a few times with a wider tire and it only oversteers if I ask it to. Its very awesome setup for autox. Just for some proof, my brother has a stock frs and we have went head to head on stock tires a few times already and we were always within .1 seconds. This past sunday we ran our cars head to head in an autox and I beat him by 2 seconds with just a wider tire and camber bolts. (40 second autox). I believe the swift frs would be better for autox, especially if your going to upgrade your tires, and the swift brz would be better for road racing. If I do decide to go with swift, it will be the swift frs and I will be making those bumpstops shorter.

yeah i like how well the rear end rotates tight corners up in the mountains, but on some sweepers it can get a little unsettling. but i am still a novice which is some of it. im running 225 hankook v12s, wich to be honest im not too impressed with. ive found they are very finicky to a specific pressure range.

If your doing high speed sweepers on mountains then its probably better to go with the swift brz springs imo

Well i just ordered the swift frs springs. Sounds like the FRS springs will make it act like my old STi did. Fast sweepers, itll over steer a little so ill be fine with that. I just want no understeer at all.

i have stance coils with swift springs and they feel great, i will have the opportunity to try stock struts on rce yellows in a few weeks so i can compare and let u guys know!

VenomRush · 06-20-2013, 04:50 PM

so i was trying to install the Swift Springs for the FRS and i noticed the springs on the front only fit correctly on the strut with the swift logo upside down, is that the right way to install them? or does the logo have to be right side up
