STI Pinks Springs - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

They'll fit fine. Though fr-s and brz have diff shocks right?

dunphyjp · 01-28-2013, 01:51 AM

yeah... higher damping lower spring rates, BRZ does the opposite with higher spring rates but lower damping

mainly worried about if it would make the car too stiff...

Fizz · 01-28-2013, 06:17 AM

How much did u pay for them? If the price is reasonable I actually prefer to get these over the eibach's

ZC6BRZ · 01-28-2013, 10:23 AM

Paid Japanese retail.

Racecomp Engineering · 01-28-2013, 11:06 AM

The shocks are the same for FRS and BRZ. Tested by more than 1 source.

I was wondering about that....whether the differece in suspension setup (between the BRZ and the 86/FRS) was in the shocks or in the spring rates.

Just thinking out loud....so by fitting the STi pink springs in the 86/FRS, you'll end up with the "subaru version" of handling setup (nothing wrong with that by the way)....since all the testing was done in, and made for, the BRZ..??

f0rge · 01-29-2013, 10:25 AM

needs more drop, if I saw your car on the street I would never guess it was lowered.

A5D5TRYR · 01-29-2013, 12:55 PM

I think that amount of lowering is perfect. One thing that was attracting me to these over any other springs. All the other ones lower more than I want to. I definitely seem to be in the minority of people that don't like to see the car slammed.
@ZC6BRZ Please post up some impressions once you've been able to drive on them for a while.

arleewa · 01-29-2013, 12:59 PM

So how is the ride? Does your car seem to handle better? Have you pushed it to the limit? Any changes in the way it responds?

illmatic · 01-29-2013, 01:00 PM

Looks great! I'd love to pair them up with some Koni shocks and AST camber plates. Hmm..

ZC6BRZ · 01-29-2013, 04:50 PM

The ride is great. slightly firmer than stock but not much. It rotates better, and handles better as well. No regrets, great purchase! Definitely recommend them for a good OEM+ setup.

ft_sjo · 02-03-2013, 01:38 AM

Ouch! Been quoted about $800 shipped from Japan to the UK for a set of these

ICantAffordAnLFA · 02-05-2013, 12:07 PM

My lightly used ones will be available when the Bilstein 16s arrive in June.

DNAPoPo · 02-05-2013, 12:18 PM

Looks great, I'm comparing these to Eibach Pro Kit as well since they are basically the same amount of drop. The Eibachs are just a whole lot cheaper and easier to get is the only advantage so far.
