BRZ & FRS Differences - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Recently drove an FRS and was hoping to tweak the BRZ to drive similarly. I cannot change springs, just shocks - but as I understand it, that's the only difference between the cars, correct? Would it make more sense then just to get Bilsteins or something, and would the car handle a little looser with them?

Wouldn't a shock delete make more sense?

sorry haha. thought there'd be a sticky on the forum but didn't see one. my passion for looking up cars and specs and stats decreases every year i get older... pretty set on a brz limited, just loved how an frs drove and wanted to make sure it ran similarly at 10/10ths

But the springs are different.

got it. stiffer in the rear slightly right? how much travel before reaching the bumpstops? i can pretty much get there if it reaches the stops when cornering hard (trick I did with the Mini)

Fairly quick stock. You might want to just pick up some Billy shocks it will fix this issue.
