Most popular body kits for FRS? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ghostzfh · 05-19-2016, 09:47 PM

Hey new to the forum here,

Anyone know what the most popular body kits are for the FRS? All I see are Greddy Rocket Bunnys on YouTube, but rarely see any other ones.

I like the Varis bodykit, but looks somewhat overly aggressive. I haven't seen many people run that kit, but it looks nice nonetheless.

Bunnies or knockoff bunnies of it are the common.
Varis is pretty sweet but, too costly for most.
You also see a few with the ARP front bumper (agressive fr-s look) and and Aimgain (Lexus looking kit.)
The Rallybacker kit is also gaining popularity.

The majority have lips or splitters on their cars, which there are tons of options.

I personally like the style of TRD. Five Axis looks cool as well.

Do wide body or any aero kits add any real amount of beneficial physics to a car?

widebody, not really, aside from allowing you to run wider tires. they're used 95% for aesthetics.

there is CFD data showing that certain splitters, diffusers, and other aero bits do provide a tangible benefit.

Any splitter, as long as it is horizontal to the ground and flat will generate downforce, as it long as it is transmitting it to the chasis and not flexing (meaning it needs supporting rods). How much downforce (or negative lift)? Well that depends enterily on the lenght of the splitter and the distance to the ground. The longer and closer to the ground it is, the more downforce it generates.

Some lips generate a small amount of downforce but not as much as a splitter. They will reduce drag in most cases tho. Such cases are the TRD, APR, and other similar (copy) designs.

Welcome and grats on your new FRS!
I'm gonna try not to sound rude as someone on this forum got butthurt last time, but please take a lot of time and thought before deciding to go any kit that requires cutting into the fenders (any widebody kit pretty much).
A lot of people have gotten these cars solely to go wide-body and it's oversaturating the community (and Instagram) now.
Take your car to some twisties/mountain roads and realize what youre gonna give up if you slam your car on some super wide and low offset wheels!

Yeah I'm probably going to play around with the car abit first. I just wanted to know what the options were. I probably won't be doing a wide body but something more refined.

Nope, they just look cool......to some people.
I tend to point and laugh at any car with a body kit. Some try to follow me but I just go into or pull out of a drive way at normal speed. They never get pass that.
