Inazuma Series Yellow questions - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Stephen W. · 03-21-2017, 02:03 PM

What is this guy talking about? In the following video the reviewer refers several times to the series yellow as having Sach’s dampers “in the back”. I have not heard, read or seen this reported anywhere else. If the Sach’s are in the rear only, what’s up front, wooden blocks with rubber donuts?

How much better are these over the stock units?
Are there any other suspension bits upgraded like, bigger/stiffer roll bars?

AS noted in other threads, this is the only way we in Canada can get the Performance Package in 2017.

Trying to come up with reasons NOT to buy one!

Sachs all around.
How much "better" they are depends on how you drive the car. They will give a better response on the track and cornering but there isn't a huge difference for your daily drive.
The only other suspension changes are what they did across the whole 2017 line.
With only 50 in Canada I would buy one in a heartbeat if I was looking for a new car.

I picked mine up 2 weeks ago, haven't regretted it, in daily driving you won't notice the suspension difference from a regular sporttech, it feels more stable but its not super noticable. you will notice the brembo's though^^

he also says the car is 2200 pounds, so i would take this sales' guys breakdown with a grain of salt

Ugh... One of our local retailers. Time to have a chat.

1:56 I heard "You're also going to have sex in the back"

O.o

Wonder why they opted not to include the STi strut tower brace as they did with the Hikari edition.

It may have become redundant with the new bracing in the 17s.

I saw one at Otto's in Ottawa today. It is very yellow.

I would hope so! But honestly, I've been riding and driving with Brembos for over two decades so good stopping power is second nature to me.

A single grain? Yeah, about the size of the salt lick in the cow pasture down the road from my house!

Oh really... I hope who ever buys that car is told about how it was "demo driven".

Why give away what you can sell (with huge mark-up) to someone later!

Hah! Good luck.

I did manage it in my Mirage as an early 20 something, and that was difficult!

From what I understand the biggest difference will not be a performance increase its just better dampening. My 13 is horrible for regular driving bc our roads are pretty poor

The car just can't keep it's rear planted over bumps and the suspension is working double time as a result. the 13 should have never come with the dampeners it did, subaru did us a huge disservice in peformance and longevity.

Damping. Not dampening. The former controls movement, the latter gets things wet
