  • We're swapping out the OEM bushings with some spherical bushings to stiffen things up! The FRS is getting all new SPL suspension components that are going to give us all the adjustability we need and shed a bit of weight as well.

    I put SPL rear lca on mine quite a few years ago now when I lowered it on springs. Important lesson learned: if doing it using a jack, have a second jack to push the arm and shock into alignment to get the bolt through. I think I spent about 30 min on the fronts and about 8 hours on the rears, most of which was using my chicken arms to bench press the car and get that bolt through! Hindsight!

      @@cradilyz Wasn't an issue of raising the car, but of compressing the lowering springs enough so the bolt at the bottom would go through the LCA. Jack stands + jack could work but I learned such things afterwards...

    A bit unrelated but damn the FRS/GT86 front end looks so much meaner and cooler than the GR86. And this is coming from a GR86 owner 🤣

      I honestly love both of them! I think the GR86 still looks aggressive, but more sophisticated and less boy racer.

    It's funny you mention not liking the jamnut, because specifically the rear UCA for the Veloster N utilizes this on the chassis side. Granted, it isn't the side you would be adjusting however. It specifically has a hefty amount of loctite on that one.

    • @KevinVo
      @KevinVo  ปีที่แล้ว

      The jamnut design can be cumbersome sometimes. It does work though haha

      With the nut on top, it's very unlikely you'll cause any damage.

      Don't think it's a drastic issue unless you're very very low and are running a lot of camber.

  • @beethao5578

    You shouldn't hit the nut to the knuckles hut spindle arm and trailing arm its better so you don't damage th nut or bushing.

    Hey Kevin! You’re the perfect guy to ask: what do you know about the STI (BRZ) trailing link set and lateral link set? Designed for the tS.

    • @KevinVo
      @KevinVo  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you're looking for an OEM+ upgrade and you don't need any extra adjustment they're a good option to help stiffen that rear up, but unless you're sticking with the stock ride height, most people need adjustable rear lower control arms to dial in the camber in the rear after lowering the car.

    Have you seen a difference with the whiteline roll center kit? I have it on my Legacy - can't tell if it's done a ton, but that's because the car is a 2003 econobox. Trying to figure out if I should do it for my 22 BRZ
