Suspension Upgrade 2013 using 2016 shocks?
Hey all,
Sorry, but a very basic question regarding suspension. Seems to be a lot of barely used stick suspension from 2015 & 2016 BRZ/FR-S out there. My question is, would it bolt onto my newly acquired 2013, without any ill side effects? I've read the 15/16 models have more road friendly & compliant characteristics. It's a DD so I'm not looking for ultimate track performance capabilities, just a smidge less harsh ride. I may do an occasional track day at Roebling Road outside of a Savannah, but nothing to where I'll be pushing it. I leave that to my motorcycle roadracing track days. Thanks! |

Hmm...never knew there was a valving change. I wonder if replacements from the dealer for my 2013 would be the revalved version, or if Toyota still supplies the original?

They would be two different part numbers so 13s would get the right ones.

Yes if you can buy them "used". To buy them new from a dealer there would be far better aftermarket choices for less money.

What @Tcoat said. If you can find them used, it might be worth while. A dealership would probably gouge you for them. I recommend driving a 16/17 and see if you feel its worth the hassle to swap the suspension into your car. Especially if you're doing to pay a shop to do it.
Edit. FWIW is find my car more compliant then in was on the stock suspension. Also, the RCE Yellows helped make the ride a little less harsh as well.

My 2013 shocks are likely due for replacement after winter (~135k km's, tons of track use and driving on Toronto streets), I'll definitely be looking for 2016 shocks.

Not sure it's worth the cost to me right now, especially with the little guy now.
