WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 1556 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

DarkSunrise · 04-27-2020, 09:43 AM

Threw on some worn, 6-yo track rubber I had laying around, turned off TC/VSC and went for a drive. The tires were even less grippy than expected! Rear was sliding out pretty easily around corners. Was getting 0.5-1 s of wheelspin shifting into 2nd. Fun times. One of the rear tires started chunking a bit, but this is just bonus time with these tires anyway, they're nearing end of life.

Also adjusted my coilover ride height about 50 times. Never seems to do what I expect.

Ordered RCE yellows.

Then I went outside and hit every bolt with penetrating lube, lol. Going to do this a bunch and hope It helps.

I'm gonna call these "side splitters" instead of skirts since they are horizontal

I dunno why the forum made these so grainy. Maybe because of the original file size?

Pictures showed up side by side on my screen. I knew it was two different pics but still thought "why would he make that front splitter with a right angle like that" when I first looked.

Lol, I am hoping to avoid that. It has only seen two winters and the bolt on the end link doesn't look that bad yet.

I should try and take them off first, and order them if needed. 👍

You'll be able to use your stock endlinks just fine. I have RCE Yellows and its not enough of a drop to get adjustable endlinks im sure down the road it'll be a worthwhile upgrade. You're gonna love the springs its one of my favorite mods!

They're well reviewed, seem like they're worth the extra $100 over TRD.

BirdTRD post was more-so suggesting that the stock ones would be seized up due to rust.
You lucky bunch south of the rust belt don't know the woes of swearing at rusty bolts.

That is just a winters worth of dust from road salt and sand.

Just got a call from dealership today, eagle finally landed. The journey begins!

Hopefully will be ready for pickup tomorrow. Was told due to reduced staffing they still need to perform PDI and check to see if they have parts available for my optional accessory installs
