then what helps the cars suspension stiffer than bettering the 50/50 ratio

Stiffer springs or stiffer roll bars...

What are you even trying to say? The BRZ has the same weight distribution as the FR-S. The difference is in the spring rates and shock tuning.

Meh, I think the BRZ has the best looking lights of all the twins. But that's a preference thing.

Im not going to argue with anyone anymore. After reading people contradicting each other, the only way to know for sure is to ask the right people and unfortunately my friends and my fellow 86rs are not the right ones to ask. that is all that will be said by me in this thread

Yo do realise that the only difference in suspension between the FR-S and the BRZ is that the BRZ has softer spring rate in the back and stiffer spring rate in the front.

That is why the FR-S Oversteers, while the BRZ is set to understeer a little.

Then again, you believe your friend that told you the engine is moved on 2 exactly identical cars.

I think the 10 series/GT86 headlights look the nicest. When the price comes down in the future I might try them out on my BRZ.

The lowest someone thought i paid for my Limited Manual was $25k because they knew the FR-S pricing and figured the BRZ costs the same. Most people assume I paid 370z money and guess over $30k.

I payed $27.25k

Now for my troll post.

How's the glowing scion emblem treating you

I wonder how your friend got hired. mechanical engineers =/= technicians.

I personally love it! And everyone I have showed it too agrees with me

The glowing shit looks way better than some shitty looking wheels.
I respect the glowing badge.

OP, most people that have commented on my FR-S, think it costs more than it did .... I consider that a good thing ..

Yeah, it sure did go sideways, lol. I just don't get the people who keep up the mantra of "It's a $25,000 car". Because absolutely no one adds any accessories, right? Mine came in at a little over $28k before tax, title and ex. warranty. Can easily get over $30k just by adding useful/tasteful accessories. I was at about $30k with the extended warranty before tax and title. Could have pulled a base '14 370Z or BRZ Limited for that much but I like the FR-S. :happy0180:
