Well yes im aware its easy enough to get the rear out on any RWD standard car. You say stance are no good for anything but goin super low? Id probably only drop 1.5-2" with them. I just figure i like the look of trd coil height. Would you say yellows keep the frs exaclty the ssme. With their equal spring rate? Are the stock coils equal spring rate!? Spring rate has to play a factor! Even with the suspension setup. I feel like the yellows would make the car more prone to understeer and take away a little of its playfulness. While the trd coild would cut on understeer, allow tighter corners and make it even more playful, am i wrong? Hmm my goal. Id love a 350hp drift car:p. But realistically id like To keep my car as stock feeling as i can. Maybe more rear end play less understeer and more planted? If thats even possible not just one or the other. Id also like it to look a little better. Less wheel gap. Little lower. So i figure a 1" drop and 1" in wheel height and lower offset will acheive that? Will give me a bit more balance. Better looks. The absolute last thing i want to do is take away any tail happiness. I understand changing any geometry on a vehicle will change its characteristics, thats common physics. But such small changes cant take away its engineered feel can it?

Could you give me a link to the springs you were thinking of? When I searched for TRD 86 springs I found a TRD page for 3 different rates front and rear.

You found three different rates because there are three different vehicle applications. For trd springs

Looking at those rates as posted by @DAEMANO.
Wheel rates are approximate. RaceComp Yellow F 4k R 2.7k Eibach Pro-Kit/TRD Springs F 3.2k R 2.9k There's not a lot in it. I am suggesting that if you were to drive two vehicles back to back with each of the spring sets you might be be able to tell a difference but which ever set you went with you would very soon become acclimatised. Given your goal/s the TRDs would be the (slightly) better choice.

Why not save a bit more and buy coilovers? You can adjust heigh and dampening, best of both worlds

If it makes you feel better the DW sidewalls are really soft too so in that regard I don't know if you'd like them any more. Better grip, but still soft. I was happy with them on my Legacy GT, but I don't think I'd want them on my FR-S. |

Very much like the DW's better than the stock Michelins both for the grip and how you can hustle through corners more like a slingshot, with smoother and better acceleration as you have a higher slip angle with them (by slip angle I'm talking tire deflection from cornering forces, not car attitude/drift angle)....more fun, especially in the wet. I'm one who tends to like not so stiff sidewalls (because slip angle), but the need to be stiff enough to not be sloppy. Falken Azenis RT-215's were the tires I have liked the least in all my experience with performance tires....sidewall way too stiff on those for my taste. And then there are tires that are way too soft in their sidewalls though, Dunlop Direzza DZ-101 comes to mind....will never make that mistake again.

Any 'caring about profit' difference would be a small variance; you're not getting a $2k setup for $1k. Probably not even a $1.5k setup. C |

The MeisterR ZetaCRD coilovers might also be a candidate for your need.
It is a little more expensive than what you can get the Stance for, and it also may not go as low as might still be a small arch gap. You can see more here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...57&postcount=8 However, the ZetaCRD setup comes with a very sensible springs rate (5kg/mm front, 4kg/mm rear), long travel rear damper for good compliancy, and a rubber insulated press steel top mount to help avoid noise issue commonly associated with coilovers upgrade. Just another option to have on your table. It may or may not fit your need, but no harm putting it on the list if you want an adjustable suspension that can lower the car but retain stock feel. Especially important for a car that drives on the road and need to be compliant for uneven road surfaces. Jerrick |
