Black Friday sale! Mach V Lowering Springs will enhance your performance

Do you sometimes feel like people are looking at your BRZ or FR-S with an expression of pity, or even fear? It might be because the car has Factory Ride Height Syndrome (FRHS). FRHS has been known to cause distress even among people who normally have no awareness of cars at all.

Now, thanks to Science, there's a cure for FRHS. The brilliant engineers at Mach V Motorsports have labored in secret underground laboratories for decades and have finally emerged, pale and blinking, into the daylight, to reveal Mach V Lowering Springs for all 2013 BRZ and FR-S cars.



Mach V Lowering Springs lower your FT86 car 0.75" in the front, 1.0" in the back. They work great with stock shock absorbers. Because they're a stock-fit spring that retains the stock rubber top hat, they avoid the clunking, harshness, and irritable bowels that can come with a coilover type suspension.



Mach V Lowering Springs are made right here in the U.S., and are in stock right now, so you don't have to wait months, and your parts are not going to be drop-shipped from some mystery warehouse or Canadian pharmacy. You order, we ship the same day in most cases.



Don't let FRHS come between you and a happy, healthy relationship with your car. The stigma of appearing in public with FRHS doesn't have to ruin your life. Mach V Lowering Springs are here for you, and will cure FRHS in one easy application.



Oh, and unlike some of those "big pharma" brand cures, Mach V Lowering Springs don't break the bank. At just $239 -- no, wait -- sale -- $199! for the set, they fit in to just about any car health care budget.

Mach V Lowering Springs -- click me!

Click the link for ordering. Act now; internet operators are standing by.

(Harp music; vocal choir.) FRHS -- there is a cure. Come back into the light today.

I've never done springs before. Is it something that is DIY or should it be taken to a shop?

You can do it yourself, but there are some tips and tricks. The factory springs are not under too much pressure, so you can disassemble them safely without a spring compressor. (Do protect your hands and face at all times, in any case.) For re-assembly, you can immobilize the shock shaft with some split rubber tubing and some pliers -- otherwise, the shaft tends to spin as you tighten down the top nut.

Always use jack stands when working under a car!

Why get coilovers that cost thousands, when you can get terrific springs for a couple of Benjamins?

Judging by the claims of 28% and 30% stiffness over stock that would work out to about 3.4kg front and 4.5kg rear - which seems to be about mid-range in spring rates for the BRZ
