Saw a black FR-S today, dropped kinda low, I would say at least 2". Not sure if it was coils or just springs.

Looks nice, but I guess it'd be pretty funny if they were "pretty low" on 2-way coilovers without any droop travel and tried to go up a steep driveway.

For us AWD folks, we always had that center diff and LSD working together when we three-wheel, but this new RWD chassis only has that torsen rear lsd.

I've never driven a RWD car in a three-wheel situation; so what, since your BRZ/FRS has a torsen, do you drag the brake to send more torque to the non-slipping wheel to save face in front of the crowd at 2am?

Just wondering.

 

+1.

 

if its a torsen, you loose all drive with one driven wheel off the ground. happens to miatas as well.
i think that black one is bagged... it probably handles like crap.

 

Fact. Getting my miata up my driveway back home was always fun. The coilovers I have on it didn't travel a lot so it three wheeled a lot.

 

Bagged? Darn, what a waste hehe.

Well I read somewhere if you're really stuck with your butt end in the air, you might be able to pull it off with some three pedal heel toe action to drag the free wheeling wheel to transfer more torque to the outside wheel. Just a thought.

I'm suprised at how quickly parts are fabbed for cars nowadays.. before, it was like.. wait 6 months and be the first to install some "drop springs". Now its like, "yeah, I got bags on it" [poker face] lol.

 

So what's an upgrade to the Torsen LSD that fixes that?
I drive a new BRZ - I kept my WRX too

 

clutch type lsd!

 

I lowered my BRZ w KW V3's and I have noticed a strange drivetrain dynamic when I angle through driveways but nothing that stuck me or that I felt embarrassed about.
