Are there updates from BRZ owners running the BRZ spec'd springs? It seems like mainly you FR-S folks are getting these haha.

Would love you hear your thoughts on how it has affected handling.

im planning on lowering my car soon, i recently bought rims/tires for it and it looks like a 4x4
i did look into coilovers but that would be atleast $1400
with springs its going to be about $525
my plan is 1in drop and these seems to do it plus its high quality springs made in japan

what all is needed to correctly lower the car with springs? i was told
spring
front camber bolts
lower control arms

I've put about 4000 miles on them so they are still pretty new. Will post up photos later tonight. $200 firm.

Still have them on although I am upgrading to custom valved stance coils and swift coil over springs. The swift brz lowering springs are fantastic and offer real performance increase, surprisingly.

I have truly enjoyed this mod.
