JRZ RS1 coilovers installed on Racecomp BRZ (and other RCE updates)

[Racecomp Engineering]

Yes I concur with what Duo quoted Tada-san as saying.

20mm is a good spot....any lower and the RCA kit will be helpful. Not "required" but a noticeable improvement. For those who auto-x and it's not allowed by classing it's fine to go lower than that with firm springs.

For those on springs that lower more than 20mm, especially springs that are very soft in the front like just about everyone else out there besides our RCE Yellows, the RCA kit will be more necessary.

ok so if the subaru already sits 10mm lower than the scion, then a 30mm drop on a scion is the sweet spot since a 20mm is the subaru sweet spot. it can't be that simple. are 86 rates / height / dampening significantly different?

Is this true? Where'd you see that? Now I'm all confused because I knew the stock spring rates between the two cars were slightly different, but I figured any development on the BRZ (which RCE is doing) would translate the same to the FR-S. Am I wrong? Is this not the case?

To be clear, our springs on an FRS will put you at roughly the same ride height as our springs on a BRZ.

So drop is the same 20mm on the FRS, just like the BRZ? Thx

Nice looking A arms....even nicer Pinarello on the background!

The best suspended race car I have ever driven was on JRZ coilovers....it was an ITA spec miata and it literally ate up every little bump on track...smooth & perfectly controlled....even when I caught AIR!!!!

So what kind of alignment changes do those fancy arms make?

We are considering a few options on the arms...it's a compromise between cost, durability, and functionality. One idea is having the WL RCA kit installed to cut down on the r&d cost of us making our own. We'll have more details soon.

Get my car in January but seriously considering these.

The fact you can make them ultra soft and hard for the track is delightful to read.

Obviously really OLD thread but.... Did anyone aside from RCE try the JRZ RS1s??? Damn they were 2900 bones and now 4500? What happened there in a year to make em go up by 1500 denaros????

The higher price is with JRZ top mounts....which are not cheap at all!

Ok so this is a camber adjustment top hat and their own made rear top hat I'm guessing? There's no info or pics to best show this hence why I ask? These seemed to be claimed as the ultimate comfy ride coil over then dissent appear anyone actually has them or is being quiete? I guess lots of dough obviously but....

Anyhow I sent you pm.
