- Installing RS-R super down lowering springs on my 2022 GR86!
Lowering springs are a cheaper alternative to coilovers and today I show how to install them and what the resulting height change is.
Get your RS-R super down lowering springs for the 2022 BRZ and 2022 GR86 here (only one left!) :

Looking perfect dude! I look forward to an update on these. Very interested since I don’t want to majorly change the suspension dynamics with coilovers or bags. Can’t get over that slight drop! It looks really good.
Here's my driving impressions with the RS-R"s ruclips.net/video/UNsg_g7TsAM/видео.html
Thanks for teaching us how do this! Installed my H&R springs yesterday with my dad and your video! The front is a bit difficult especially because of the control arm. And make sure to not put to much force on the screws holding the suspension up top!!!
looks so good. neptune blue is gorgeous. might have to pick some of these up
Looks amazing!!
Thanks for your review
You are really a professional!
Trying to stack your fingers was hilarious!! 😂😂
Dude that looks good.
Looks great!👍
looks good!!!
Nice man! Im debating on these or the Tein H Techs
This looks good, definitely doing this to mine. Wonder how it looks without spacers and cam bolt though?
Looks good
Just got mine installed and it rides amazing!
Just wondering - were your ones the BRZ or GR86 versions... they actually have different spring rates on rear but no one seems to mention this anywhere I can find. Mike's ones are the BRZ version I notice.
@@MKu64 tbh idk, how can I tell which ones I got? I got them from a shop here in socal.
@@uReact2 Good question - The only way I know is based on the box - for example on Mike's ones the box sticker says 22 brz.. I assume the GR86 say GR... maybe no way to tell if you don't have the box
@@MKu64 actually I just googled it and I got the GR kit. The difference i noticed was the rear coils are grouped up more at the top than the brz version. I might be wrong but that’s what it looked like to me lol.
@@uReact2 Great - thanks! Do you think your rear height looks the same as Mike's? I'm guessing a tiny bit higher but whether it's noticeable I wonder.
Nice video! How are you liking your strut bar? Been looking to get one for my front and rear.
Perfect
Bought mine at the end of last year but have yet to put them on
I did TRD springs on my FRS, but this time I went with coilovers. Dropped it 1.4" and won't go any lower than that though. 2022 Toyota GR86 in Halo white and Hyper silver Enkei Raijin Wheels.
Team halo babyyyy
How is the ride so far? Has it changed any since you first installed the springs?
It will be lower as the days go by and the spring settled trust me. to bad they don't work on my 2022 Corolla sedan se had them on but i had to remove it because you get a slide vibration on the driver side front keep an eye on that
Where do you find the torque power required for each bolt ?
Has anyone used the 2022 brz OEM , STI lowering springs on their car yet ? There’s a few sites selling them and they are pretty reasonably priced but they only lower stock about 10mm ??
It looks good but-Did it affect any alignment?
Hi Mike, it’s been about 5 months since you installed these. Any issues, regrets??
Looks great! do you get any rubbing going over bumps or uneven roads?
No rubbing or bottoming out.
Do you need to change your camber bolts or camber arms aswell? Im runing stock wheels no spacers. I have the rsr but idk what else i need to install it
Should get undercoat for that car in Canada
Will the spacers work for a 2023 gr86?
Hello! How do you know how hard to tighten the nuts/bolts? From where can I found those info? :D
Are these stiff like the oem ones?
that fitment is sooooo nice, what mm spacers are you on and did you have to adjust camber?
25mm spacers and I added adjustable cam bolts in the front strut which allow for about 1.5 degrees of negative camber.
@@PhotomikesGarage without the spacers, do the wheels tuck in a lot?
Do you have camber bolts?
Looks amazing , Are the tires sitting on spacers aswell?
Thanks, There is just a 5mm spacer on the back wheels.
Sorry 25 mm spacers on all four corners.
I’m scared to put mine on
Do you know what camber the car is running now ? Would you recommend rear lower control arms and camber bolts ? I’m trying to weigh up my options without spending thousands ?
With the RS-R's the rear camber is about 2 degrees and with the cam bolts in the front it's about 1.5 degrees. You will need adjustable lower control arms at the rear if you want to lower the car more or if you think 2 degrees is too much camber.
@@PhotomikesGarage thanks very helpful
When you trimmed the bump stop, how much did you actually trim?
About half.
Thank you for your video, do we need a wheel alignment after the installation?
Yes you should... but I haven't yet and the car drives straight and true. I'll get it done soon.
Looks great! How’s the ride?
I do a drive review ruclips.net/video/UNsg_g7TsAM/видео.html
Can we talk about the knife dude used to open that box?! Or are we gonna pretend that didn’t happen?
Ever hear of a box cutter?
How much did you end up cutting off the bump stops?
About half.
How's the ride quality compare to stock?
These are progressive springs so over light bumps it feels smooth , over harsher bumps it feels pretty firm.
Here is my driving review of the RS-R's ruclips.net/video/UNsg_g7TsAM/видео.html
Did you have to roll the fenders?
No everything fits perfectly.
Can i fly you out so you can do mine!? 😆
Do you have an estimate on time it took to do this?
I figure it took about 4 hours.
Thanks. I know my 2015 FRS only took a couple hours at the dealer. Trying to figure out how they are coming up with the nutty labor charge they gave me yesterday. I can't imagine what they'll be doing with the extra 5.5 hours for a total of 9.5 hrs they quoted me for doing this on my 23 gr86.... You'd think that having a lift and best possible tools at their fingertips that they could finish it faster? @@PhotomikesGarage
its a damper, not dampener. its not making things wetter..
the car comes from factory set for perfect ride. spacers are a risk. just lowering springs will make it difficult to keep front-end alignment thus causing uneven tire wear.
So what do we do?
