Maybe you missed this topic: JRZ RS1 coilovers installed on Racecomp BRZ

@Racecomp Engineering can probably advice on specific spring rates and adjustment setting to get surely better than stock comfort while providing better handling.

Iam currently running ST coils and love the ride quality for a DD, living in NY this was a big concern for me as the roads here are absolute crap, you never know when a new pot hole will pop up. Spring rates are soft but still maintain good cornering, will be upgrading to KW3s in the future but for the meantime I am satisfied with my purchase.

I have driven tuned / lowered cars for almost 20 years, but this one is the roughest between 70-80 mph, which is where I live on the highway.

Sport-i or Black-i?

I have st's on my m3 and they are nice for dd. that car is a little more rough altogether because of its age but its still nice. I'm going to get a set for my frs once I get a chance especially that th has them for like 775 or something like that.

Guys bringing this thread back up. Need help. With my Lexus you can buy Coilovers with pillow ball upper mounts OR rubber mounts. Is there any Coilover for the FRS that DOESNT use the stock tophats, they use their own but are rubber instead of pillow ball?

Been running RS-R Sports-i for nearly a year now. Much more comfortable than stock in every situation and the handling is also improved. Important, the dampers need to be adjusted into the critical range after installation otherwise the can feel stiff. This is a fantastic coilover for what the OP is asking for.


Rode in another members ' SaT coilover car and the ride was even softer due to the STs having softer spring. That car was very GF / Wife friendly.

I searched over the forum, but doesn't look like any coilover will be more comfortable but holds better at corner than the stock.

Anybody can help me??

I've had Airlift, KW V3's, stock BRZ, stock FR-S, Bilstein HD's, and HKS Hipermax GT IV's, and the GT IV's are the most comfortable on the street. They also come with their own tophat/camber plates that are rubber isolated better than stock. They have 6k springs in front, and 4k springs in back, but adjusting preload and damping is critical to getting the best ride.

Also, in my opinion, the stock sway bars are better suited for the track then the street, so I just ordered a set of Cusco's "soft" hollow sway bars, front and rear.

The car also rides better if it's lowered 1 to 1 1/2 inches from stock height. Beware of parking lot curbs though, it will catch the curbs at the lower height.

The HKS Hipermax GT IV's have rubber isolated tophat/camber plates, and they are quite comfortable on the street

What settings are you running?

[Vroomin86]

cant believe I missed a used set on ebay for $500 shipped. they had less than 2000 miles on them

[Vroomin86]

I know BC racing are exactly the "best" out there but do they come with rubber mounts?
