Factory Alignment FRS vs BRZ - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Does anybody have the factory alignment specs for the FRS vs the BRZ?

I'm wondering if you can align a BRZ to act more like an FRS from the factory (on stock suspension).

The difference isn't alignment, it's spring rates. FRS are softer in front and firmer in rear, that combination makes the FRS more prone to oversteer.

Add some toe-out to the rear of the BRZ and you will get to a similar place (front and rear toe are the only factory adjustments on the car).

or just bump the rear tire pressure up about 5 pounds.

IIRC, BRZ's run more rear toe in (FRS might be 0?). That said, that's only part of the equation and you'll need different springs or other changes to change the balance.
