Since being lowered, I only scraped my bumper a couple of times, perhaps because I’ve gotten better at taking inclines at an angle.Īs for the ride, I could immediately tell the car was stiffer than stock. Having slightly taller 225/45/17 tires lifted the car just a little, which helps getting out of some driveways. This feeling of being lowered required me to recalibrate my brain to take most driveways at an angle and to start remembering which parking lots would give me trouble. I had gotten so used to looking at my BRZ at stock height that I was shocked at how much a 25mm drop lowered the car. ![]() What have I done?” I said to myself as I walked up to my car. When I went to pick up my car, I was shocked at how low the car looked. They even have a shock dyno tucked away in a room where they service their dampers. I got a tour of the shop, which was filled with all kinds of Subarus, and the work spaces were immaculate. The staff was friendly and professional, putting me at ease. I set up an appointment to have them installed at Mann Engineering in Santa Clara, California. I chose to keep the drop conservative and went with the 25mm. I had the choice between the 25mm and 35mm drop versions of the springs. For me, it was a test could I live with a mild 25mm drop? In the end, curiosity got the best of me and I set up an appointment for them to be installed. I have a steep driveway and already scraped once coming out of a parking lot at stock height. When I won a set of lowering springs from Mann Engineering, I was apprehensive about getting them installed. The car is so good from the factory, I don’t want to mess up its handling and balance. When it comes to modifying my Subaru BRZ, I’m relatively conservative. Disclosure: I won a set of Mann Engineering lowering springs from NorCal 86Drive end of summer raffle. ![]()
