WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 1175 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

mokee92 · 04-28-2017, 06:07 PM

Tinted the rear window 20% and side windows 35%.
Installed TRD lowering springs. Shaping up to look very sharp. There is one thing I noticed. The front sits a bit higher than the rear. Like in the front, the gap between the fender and tires is three fingers and in the rear, two fingers. Is that normal? Can someone offer some insight? Also, after how long do the springs completely settle and when do I need another alignment? Thanks. :-)

Where did you get the springs? Any part number?

I think you answered yourself a bit. The springs will need some time and miles to settle, could be why the front is looking higher. Since that's where more of the car's weight is, the springs are probably stronger and compress less at first. I'm sure eventually you will see the height even out.

Added EBC yellowstuff to front and rear and Motul RBF 600 brake fluid for my first track day this Sunday.

I hope so. It's not terribly noticeable but I can definitely see it when I pay extra attention.

Nice - great way to explore you and your car's limits in a fun/safe setting. Have fun and try to soak in everything your instructor tells you.

Ok... so I finally got around to installing my Mishimoto aluminum coolant overflow tank. The install wasn't as straight up as I had hoped but that was because of my HKS GT supercharger v3 install. I'm sure on a NA FR-S/BRZ the install would have been cake. I had to remove a few things in order to get it in. In the end it was totally worth it.

Fitment was on point! Quality was great! More bling in my engine bay is what I wanted... Mission accomplished!

Better pics coming soon!

Engine bay looks way nicer without that plastic container there! Props on keeping it so damn clean.

It really does look way nicer... the aesthetic impact of such a small change to my engine bay is more than I anticipated...Everything seems to tie in better now. I'm very happy with the new addition!
