$4600 Scion FR-S Suspension Upgrade

[@annettemastracci]

You spent $4600 bucks on car parts?!@&@!&$? I’m going to start charging you for using my garage! Lol!♥️mom

[@NapFloridian]

Priceless !!!!

[@AliHaider-no8yn]

Lol

You ok

Yess mom, do itttt🤣

[@X11CHASE]

You speak with a lot of confidence and have a good video presence; that’s why the average common people ignore the plethora of misnomers in your videos

[@X11CHASE]

Also, the channel format is basic and formulaic, but very clean and crisp, try to be a little less “normie” about things-a huge plus is that you guys at least don’t buy bottom of the barrel parts

[@michaelluttmer2486]

As a person that does 10+ HPDE a season wtih a BRZ, I removed my stiffer adj.rear sway (RCE) and put the stock rear sway back on, you'll have far more grip in AutoX and lapping days. You might also have wheel lift otherwise. Goal is just the right amount of suspension travel that maintains your contact patch. Everything else looks great. Go for around -3.5 camber front and -2.5 rear. Subscribed. BBK is not really required. Save money and get stoptech/DBA rotors, Feredo/Carbotech/winmax pads, SS lines, and Motul fluid. That's all you need unless you're endurance racing.

[@chandy4ever]

was your stock 14mm or 16mm? what was the mm of the stiffer one?

[@PROcrastiDRIVESVofficial]

I agree, could you please share the thickness of the stock rear sway that you put back in?

[@Synthwave89]

You deserve so many more subscribers. Your videos are concise, well explained, and you don't skimp on the details. Bonus for tasteful and high quality mods. Can't wait to finish modding my suspension, I was gonna get FA500s but went with HKS due to a sale discount. Wheels are finally coming in also!!!

[@milanmastracci]

I appreciate that Mario! Thank you! Eh that's awesome. You can't go wrong with some HKS parts either 🙌

[@brandonlee1547]

I love how thorough you are with your videos. I’m finishing up E85 tuning on my supercharged brz and plan on going full suspension next. Your friend has a very nice setup. Fortune autos are definitely on my consideration list. I kinda want to try out the HKS Hipermax.

[@VortexRamFTW]

[@TheTroyLauExperience]

This shit so informative... you explain things so well I can follow so easily, literally could listen to you talk all day

Love the attention to detail you and your brother get on with. I so love watching you and/or Luca do your thing. :)

[@milanmastracci]

Thanks brother! 👊 We appreciate it

Baller setup !. Go boys . cant wait for the next video.

[@nicholasdugdale]

Top quality professional video! Very clear product review and install of the parts. Also, very well spoken!

[@bchnts]

The stock sway bars are way too thin didn’t expect that

[@isaaclepper4106]

Randomly found this channel while looking at his mini (cause im getting my own soon) i swear to god i went to school with this luca kid. Small fucking world.

[@FULLTHROTTLEAUTO]

I want to see track day videos of this thing when it's done! Great video as always.

[@milanmastracci]

Me too!! I wonder if it will get a better time than my Z 😏

[@jacobtedesco8721]

20:35 that's what she said. serious q tho where do you go for an alignment?

[@ScottyL789]

Great video. I’m wondering if you have a follow-up video to let us know you thoughts on handling, setup and the balance of the car? Does it oversteer a lot more with such a stiff rear setup? Do you do auto Ross? Has it been to the track? How does it behave?

[@kb24081]

Awesome video and I'm happy for him. I'm hoping one day I can spoil my little Honda the same way but for now, I can't work since I have to take care of people. Keep up the good work

[@garchomp889]

You must really love that car spending $4600 on suspension lol

[@kuelee9382]

You must not know too much about driving.

[@JosephSamsor]

Kue Lee what does that have to do with anything? 4.6k for suspension parts alone is a lot of money. That has nothing to do with driving skill/knowledge. I saw your other comment too when someone called the frs slow. Yes, it’s a slow car. Acknowledging that doesn’t make someone ignorant about driving. 200hp is nothing. People who own them as well complain about it.

[@garchomp889]

Kue Lee you must not know much about parts, $4600 to get walked by a Ford Explorer. Yeah it’s made for the track but there’s no balance slow piece of shit 86

[@imnota]

I totally understand your point of view, but you don't understand his because of two reasons : 1. You've probably never been in a car with a really great aftermarket suspension setup 2. The area where you live probably hasn't lot of twisties so you feel like 200hp is way too slow. There really is nothing better than a proper suspension setup, and the roads you have really influence your driving style (thus the mods you do)and power needs. Like obviously it would be dumb to spend that much on suspension to street drive your car in New York where you either go straight or turn 90 degrees, but for a street and track car in Canada, it's a great choice.

[@romariosmith422]

@@garchomp889 the 86 is not about power. Just stop smh. I guess you have never been on the track before!

[@kd3942]

Do you need front tie rod ends for the front too?

[@GP-fc7jv]

That’s going to be crazy

[@gryphon123456]

10K spring rate? Does it not make the ride super harsh and rough to daily? Lots os good info in this video for upgrading suspension. thank you.

[@milanmastracci]

You would think, however with stiff springs and soft dampening, the ride is actually much nicer than you would think. I currently have 14k and 11k springs on my 370Z and it rides so smoothly!

[@diego87tennis]

Did you tune the car to make it backfire? Love the pops and crackles. Or is it all because of the exhaust?

[@milanmastracci]

The exhaust helps, but the tune that Luca has makes a world of a difference

[@Ejiokpa16]

What changes a car definitely isn’t more power but how it handles. I love suspension mods first then tires and brakes then power. I love fortune auto but sadly they don’t have any for my car but BC, Bilstein, and KW do. Car looks good.

[@OllamhDrab]

Yeah, that's really more important to me. (Not to mention should be standard procedure even if you *want* huge power. Most of my fun isn't in the straight lines, just something torquey with a bit more power than I strictly 'need' is my happy place. ) I'd kinda rather be getting closer to the peak of a slower car than constantly holding back an overpowered one. :)

[@Ejiokpa16]

@@OllamhDrab It's definitely easier to find the limits in a lower powered car than a high powered one. Everything happens at a slower pace. I think people forget that and go straight to power because its easier and than trying to figure out the right suspension setup.

[@OllamhDrab]

@@Ejiokpa16 Yeah, a lot of the boys think the bragging rights on horsepower need to come first, but that's not generally the best way. It's also about what actually fits your lifestyle. LIke, if I built a dedicated track car, how often would I make it to a track day? Maybe not much more often. :) (So, probably I'll be looking for a project car I'll build for lightness and the roads outside town where I can do some grand tourer style driving, without shattering speed laws. (Or I'll make my daily more into that, that's just in 'may as well engine and trans swap' territory. but suspension and stuff are already well underway as I go. :) )

[@Ejiokpa16]

@@OllamhDrab Speaks all the truths. Without better brakes and tire that new found horsepower becomes useless.

[@Kreetz909]

Looks siick! Hella excited for u guys 👍

[@milanmastracci]

Thanks Ricardo! :) I'm pumped to see how Luca mods this thing

[@douglashealy]

Worth more than my entire car...

[@KiranPatel-fk1pg]

What was the need for stiffer rears then fronts considering it's a front engine RWD car, wouldn't that just make it cause oversteer

[@milanmastracci]

I think it has to do with the balance on the car. The stiffer rear end will help it rotate which will help at the track. It should be easier to control with steering input and throttle modulation, and is preferred to understeer.

[@OllamhDrab]

@@milanmastracci Especially since adjustable and you'll be track testing, that's why you're better off erring on the side of oversteer and then dialing back for more grip options, as make sense. I probably would have started a notch softer in back if that constitutes 'two steps stiffer than stock,' but may be that extra bit of compliance for regular roads that helps keep a lot of cars sorted out. When I did new end links on the purchase of my daily Volvo, for instance, the poly bushings I basically always get for everything and usually make things more taut actually were a lot better for being *more* compliant than the rubber ones that had just been mooshed down more and more till they turned hard as rocks that way some untold decade ago. :) Real reminder that stiffer isn't always actually better. (I was lucky and this also came with the biggest stock sway bars which some actually *prefer* even on the track. ) It was a bit of a strange combination with the fact they omitted the front crossmember brace to make most of the American ones more cushy, I put in an IPD piece that ties everything together nice. Anyway, all these things make the weight transfers a lot more predictable and keep the tires *down* when over-stiffness could actually have weight coming *off* wheels at inopportune moments.

[@gustavocastillo9954]

KZbin helps in money, but you kinda have to be big with lots of views and subscribers. Most importantly is a job that pays well. You don't need to go to college to make money, welding or machining can make you some good money

Just keep grinding. There was a point where just filling up my gas tank was a struggle while in school. If you keep striving for better, you will get there. I was working in a restaurant waiting tables, and the job itself wasn't fun, but overall after tips, I was making about $30-35 an hour which is incredible for a student

[@OllamhDrab]

In a lot of ways that was kind of the point, they made a fun but tuneable car that it wouldn't be insane to just drop your teenage kid in. :) If you ever loved non-Supra Celicas or similar, (or, say, an AE86) you'd get the point immediately. Only thing is all the cars are just a lot heavier than they used to have to be so they really probably could have started out with a bit more power to em, from what I hear.

Most of this is unnecessary. You should have went cheaper on the suspension and invested some money into braking.

Meh, a 4.6k for suspension stuff, I'd buy an 2JZ and swap it.

[@milanmastracci]

Power is definitely something that needs to be modified on cars, but if the car can't handle the stock power, there is no reason to give it more.
