2015 FR-S suspension changes vs. 2014

[Don_SA]

Has anyone driven both the 2013/2014 FR-S and the 2015 FR-S? I know they changed the suspension calibration somewhat for the 2015 model year. Does the car still have the lively feel of the original, or is it a bit more forgiving now like the BRZ?

I drove the 2014 BRZ and FR-S and preferred the lively feel of the FR-S. If they feel the same now I would give the Subaru a closer look for the HID lamps as standard.

Only test driven 2013 compare to 2015, 2015 feels a lot tighter turning into corner. If you are too fast into a corner 2015 almost understeers. Overall it feels less lively, more mature/serious

2015 have more understeer if u are going in too fast in to corner. (Talking about FRS here, for BRZ 2013-2015 it's pretty much the same.)


But car itself is still very netural.


2016 also have small changes like powersteering & increase in metal thickness by rear suspention to make it less floaty under certain condition.


Mostly thing u wont notice till the u really push the car I believe.
