Dealer Option 30mm Drop Lowering Springs - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

@leej: 30mm = 1.18". Sportlines are advertised to drop 1.4"F/1.4"R. Sportlines will wear out the stock shocks faster. For the advertised 189 Euros for the lowered suspension, I don't think shocks are included and I doubt Toyota dealers would sell springs that will kill your stock shocks faster. Pro-Kit is advertised to drop 1.0"F/1.0"R and work better with stock shocks so I think the optional springs are Pro-Kit.

An interesting kit I found on both the US and German Bilstein websites are the Bilstein B12 Pro-Kit which includes Bilstein shocks bundled with Eibach Pro-Kit springs.

I downloaded their product catalog .pdf and there is no such kit for the 86/FR-S/BRZ right now. Eibach's German site mentions this kit also with a video: http://performance-suspension.eibach..._performance_2

But Eibach USA's site does not mention Bilstein shocks. Only Eibach developed Pro-Dampers are mentioned. Designed to work with their springs but appear to be different than Bilsteins: http://performance-suspension.eibach...amper__step_3_

Got my Toyota brochure in the mail. It indeed mentions the lowering springs. But no pic and no manufacturer info other than 30mm lowering and the price of 189€. There are two 18" wheel options, no mention on the width, but on of them is the OZ Ultraleggera. The BRZ brochure doesn't have any performance options listed, just stuff like ipod, rear diffusor and whatnot.
