Thanks. Dang! I wish I could find something that cheap! The cheapest I've found is $300 for the spring install and $75 for the alignment.

Are there any negative effects to putting the frs springs on the brz?

You'd have a BRZ that might handle a tiny bit more like an FRS. There wouldn't be any negative effects, though.

I want the frs handling actually. I just worry if there might be conflicts of the electronic steering in the brz was tuned in a way that doesn't compliment the frs suspension.

I'm wishing for more tail movement and hoping I can equate the frs handling. I just worry because each car was tuned to a specific feel is it even possible to give the brz a true frs feel?

Nope I'm on the BRZ spec and it reminds me a bit more of a smooth stock FRS suspension.
