BRZ/FR-S Suspension Options List (Springs and Coilovers) - Page 6 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I called Swift and they're looking for a car (possibly cars) to test springs on.

I posted in the California forum - hopefully a FT86er can get out to the Swift office and the prototypes installed.

Updated stock spring rates to FR-S: 2.3k/3.8k and BRZ: 2.7k/3.5k

Car: Front OE Spring Rate:
Subaru BRZ 27 N/mm (153 lbs/in)
Scion FR-S 23 N/mm (131 lbs/in)

Rear OE Spring Rate:
Subaru BRZ 34 N/mm (195 lbs/in)
Scion FR-S 37 N/mm (211 lbs/in)

So for the RS*R iSports the spring rates are chosen at the time of purchase. You can get 6k to 9k.

Anyone know the choices available? Seems hard to believe that every package will be completely custom.

So you choose the spring-rates when you order from them. I got to pick the rates I wanted. I choose 6k F and 7k rear. Sorry, could have been clearer on that earlier.

OK, I get it. I need to know the spring rates that are standard in the box that gets shipped out to resellers. Thanks for the info, though.

I'll be happy when I see that a Koni FSD/Eibach Kit is available for the car!

DarrenDriven · 07-03-2012, 02:43 PM

HKS and Blitz specs have been updated.

harajukukei · 07-03-2012, 02:46 PM

I found one more. Apexi N1 Evolution Damper
much stiffer spring rates at 10/8

these definitely won't be comfy for daily use.
