13 Suspension Update
I drive +15k miles a year on my stock everything 2013 FRS since buying it used with 34k on the odometer. Now approaching my 60k service interval and am wondering if a suspension update is in order.
My current commute is from Pasadena to LAX via the 210,134,110,10, 405. I love how the car handles and can feel every seam in the pavement...
Downside is THERE ARE A LOT OF SEAMS. My stock springs and struts are good, but at stock height I still scrape around LA. I hope taller/meaty tires (245/45/r17 MPSS on 17x9 +35) can give me the extra hair of ground clearance I'm looking for. If not, I hope to move towards a rally build with lift springs. (225/50/r17 MPSS on stock rims)
When updating your suspension are coilovers/shocks and springs enough or is it time to replace ALL the bushings?
AM I overthinking all of this? Maybe.
From my research I am considering these options, which is the compliant daily setup?
13 Stock springs + Bilstein B6
Chuhatsu lift springs + Bilstein B6
Full MY 20 GT86 stock suspension
(Your superior suggestion here, clearly I have no clue)
Am I wasting my money and should save up for a Cayman or GR86? LOL
