Does BRZ tS have different suspension from standard model?
As you know, BRZ tS has bigger 18x7.5 wheels while BRZ premium or Limited model has 17x7.5 wheels.
So i guess tS model has different suspension (and lower the car) from the standard models. Does anyone have information about this? |

The tS wheels are larger but the tire circumference/height are the same. This is because the tire is lower profile. So the net effect is the same ride height.

No one is bothered by someone asking questions but when you ask questions that are easy to find out on your own it makes people Please don't make 4 threads about this too.

Info From Press Release Etc
"The tS employs German Sachs dampers that are tuned differently than those on the standard BRZ. They are 15 perfect stiffer in the front of the car and 3 percent stiff in the rear. The suspension setup as a whole has been retuned, resulting in 10 percent less roll reduction and 15 percent less pitching. Brembo handles braking duties. The wheels are now 18-inches shod in sticky, grippy Michelin PS4 215/40R18 tires. Do all of the tweaks add up to STI’s goal of pure handling delight?" "Next, STI added flexible V-bars to the engine bay. The V-bars look like a typical V-brace, but halfway down the length you see that each bar is actually two bars connected by pillow ball joints, the idea being that allowing a little movement on each bar will reduce harsh impacts and result in better suspension behavior. There are also two flexible draw stiffeners connecting the front subframe to the body. The idea here is to reduce yaw time and improve steering accuracy. Still with me?"

STI springs are supposedly 15mm lower than the standard car.
