Finally a review with some useful info on the suspension changes! Thank you for that. I'm absorbing all I can while waiting for delivery of my BRZ tS and can't wait to get my hands on it. Sick to death of hearing about lack of turbo from people who weren't going to buy this car anyway. And the price point is not terrible! WRX STI costs $6k more than the top trim WRX, so cost of this factory brake and suspension upgrade is just fine by me. Plus that blue interior, whoooweee. I'm excited!
but OM provided some wrong info here... the (front) shocks are not mr or "computerized". the shock does not car about what speed you are driving, it's going to respond to the impact based on the jounce or impact rate. it does not care if you are doing 25kmh or 100kmh...
and look at all those wheels that fit in the back! Love my 2022 BRZ Limited - if I were buying a 2024 I'd spring for the tS, $2500 is cheap for full Brembo kit - I wonder if you felt this edition has less understeer? Any difference in steering feel? Thank you for the review!
Hey that isn't what low speed valving and high speed valving means in terms of shocks. I can see how this would be confused, but it's the speed that the shock is compressed. It's essentially like a blow off valve that allows the shock to get out of the way when it comes to curb strikes. This allows the low speed valving to be stiffer without negatively affecting the ride/stability of the vehicle.
Not a terrible price bump, but I’m all about the base model and then just get some dampers that fit my need (likely an autocross/track type fitment). Brakes can similarly be changed and then can go to a 2 piece rotor to drop weight further.
If you are doing track sessions, you really want to upgrade both the pads and brake fluid. I suspect the better bite on the brakes is from having 4-piston calipers in the front.
they're not going to give this a turbo because that would completely destroy Supra sales, it makes no business sense. Also, this car doesn't really need it and it would definitely hurt the character of the car and destroy that lovely instance throttle response you get.
Thank you, I'm loving the queer channels. I just bought a 2024 BRZ after owning a few Porsche Spyders both 981 & 718 versions and this car is very much like a Porsche for a fraction of the price. Not a Porsche but Like a Porsche.
So if the auto tranny is from the is250 does that mean that people might be able to swap the lexus engine to the brz/gr86? That would be a way more reliable engine than the boxer.
Transmission* but... probably not. The dimensions and overall shape of the boxer four vs a small V6 (or even an inline four) are so different, and the hood line of the BRZ is pretty low as it is.
the high and low speed valving on the shocks refer to the speed of the shock piston, not the speed of the car. SMH. You should notice a difference in body roll and reactions to sharp bumps.
@@nicholasbrown1115 you cant turn the cameras off, they run 24/7, transmitting everything you see to a server you have zero access to, its also weight at the worst possible place to put it on these cars. Also, the steering is overboosted due to the 2nd servo for the eyesight system.
