Dealers receiving FRS with Five Axis Kits - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

dwcnmv · 07-12-2012, 06:57 PM

So a co-worker interested in an FRS just talked to a dealer today with some interesting news. As it turns out some dealers are getting port installed Five Axis Design kits. For a high priced $31,000. I thought my BRZ Limited was stretching it a bit. $31,000 for an FRS is ridiculous, unless you just happen to be someone who wanted one of these kits.

wouldnt it be cheaper if we waited and ordered the kit, took it to the body shop and had it installed? insted of paying $31000?

My dealer is bringing one of those cars to the show in Fremont CA this weekend. It was bound to happen. It's to the buyer, and there was a LOT of praise for that kit when it got announced, so management thinks this is a good idea as a result of said praise. 31k sound extreme though. Does it include the wheels AND the springs then? That would make more sense than just the body panels.

Definitely comes with wheels, but didn't ask or say anything about springs.

I would rather have the nur aero kit instead of the five axis kit. Only good thing about the five axis kit is the spoiler.

Wow. $6k more for this is a lot. I wonder what's included in the kit.

To make it worthwhile, it would have to include a bag containing $3,000.

Comes with a full kit trd springs and wheels.. I had a chance to look at one over at pasadena, ca but ya $31,000+...

Kit comes with aero parts, wing, springs and wheels.

It looks like they are trying to package deal it for the people that want to roll everything into one monthly payment.

Lonewolf · 07-12-2012, 09:46 PM

It will sell because the mods (wheels, drop, bodykit) can be financed along with the car itself...

Calidrifter · 07-12-2012, 09:48 PM

Exactly, if you want something else just buy the car without any options.

I hope no one is dumb enough to buy one of these vehicles with port installed wheels. For half what you'll be charged for those wheels/tires, you can purchase online the same wheel/tire package for half the price AND have a complete set of original wheels/tires as a backup.

Half the price, twice the amount of wheels and tires. It's a no-brainer.
