FR-S TRD Lowering Springs and Sway Bars releasing soon - Page 10 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just called a different dealer in my area and gave them the part# for the springs.

They said $287 but part is not available yet. Man getting a reliable price from Scion dealerships is like winning the lottery, never gonna happen!!!!!

I think it's just ridiculous that parts like these weren't available at launch. They have lost so much business as a result.

Gonna sell my megan coilovers and get these, sick of the harsh ride, i want my great handling car back....now i just want the black trd wheels from the celebrity race cars and im good....

tinma · 08-06-2013, 09:37 AM

I wonder if getting these installed with void my Subaru BRZ warranty because they r not the ones selling it to me....anyone know anything about this?

Also, I do not have a Scion dealership where i live...and Toyota does not sell the FR-S. Think they would still be able to order these parts?

Yes and even more ridiculous that no struts are available.

You could probably haggle to get a free alignment considering all they do is throw it on the machine and you're already paying 500 for parts markup and labor.

edit: or at least a discounted alignment.

I've been wondering the same. The way I'm thinking is that the best protection I'll be able to get is talking with a service manager and verifying that TRD parts are covered by my Subaru warranty, as there's no way Subaru is going to cover a Scion dealer's install. TRD is Toyota, Scion doesn't actually make performance parts. Or really anything at all except glowing badges. So yeah you can get FR-S TRD stuff from Toyota.

any news yet on these parts

tennisfreak · 08-30-2013, 11:08 AM

Called the dealer I preorderd from yesterday and he told me the absolute soonest they would come in would be end of November and that was still just a guess.

He recommended that I get a refund and reorder when a firm data is announced. So I took his advice and will be redistributing those funds to a tune.

i hate this waiting game...

These are on my short list of upgrades simply because they are a TRD part and the car is still under warranty. I was leaning towards Hotchkis springs but these seem like a more legit deal as they can't say shit about voiding your warranty if installed.

EastBayCanuck · 08-30-2013, 05:31 PM

Waiting for these springs as well. I've got a 15% off coupon from the dealership I bought my car from thats good for 6 months on any accessory.

teamturbo · 09-23-2013, 02:51 PM

Anyone hear an update on the TRD springs? I'm itching to get the car lowered but I'd like to have factory warranty that TRD would provide...
