FR-S Ride and drive cars - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I was fairly impressed with the handling, feel and control of the FR-S with the TRD springs and 225/45/17 tires on their pseudo auto-x course. I drove a stock car and was impressed but the springs and tires eliminate what little body roll was left.

For those that have also driven the ride and drive cars, what did you think? Are the TRD springs a good match to the stock shocks? felt that way to me. I asked the guys running the event how the cars are holding up and the only real issues have been brake pads and underbody plastic due to folks killing cones. Engine and tranny have held up fine.

Are these the ones with Enkei wheels and Yokohama tires?

If so the RPF1's actually look good in 18" the 17's just look too small in my opinion.

Are they JDM TRD springs or USDM?

replacing tires is going to add roll, not reduce it
