FRS Coilovers
The Scion FRS is a popular sports car among enthusiasts due to its sleek design and excellent handling. One of owners' most common modifications to their Scion FRS is lowering the car's suspension with coil overs. Coilovers are an adjustable suspension system that allows you to lower the car's ride height and adjust the damping to suit your driving style. This guide will walk you through the steps to install coil overs on your Scion Frs Lowering Springs.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install coilovers on your Scion FRS :
Step 1: Gather Tools and Materials
Before you start, make sure you have all the necessary tools and materials. You'll need a floor jack, jack stands, wrenches, sockets, a torque wrench, a rubber mallet, and of course, the coilovers themselves. You may also need some additional hardware or adapters depending on the coilovers you've chosen.
Step 2: Remove Stock Suspension
Start by lifting your car with a floor jack and securing it with jack stands. Then, remove the wheels and disconnect the brake lines, sway bar, and any other suspension components that are in the way. Once you've removed the old suspension, take some time to clean the mounting points and inspect the new coilovers to ensure they're in good condition.
Step 3: Install New Coilovers
Begin by installing the new coilovers onto the mounting points, making sure to align them properly. Once they're in place, use the provided hardware to secure them tightly. Adjust the height and stiffness of your coilovers to your liking, taking care to follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
Step 4: Reinstall Suspension Components
With the new coilovers in place, it's time to reinstall the suspension components you removed earlier. This includes the brake lines, sway bar, and any other parts you may have disconnected. Be sure to torque everything to the proper specifications.
Step 5: Test and Adjust
Lower your car off the jack stands and test your new coilovers on the road. Take it easy at first, and gradually increase your speed as you get a feel for the new suspension. Pay attention to how the car handles and adjust the height and stiffness as necessary to find the perfect balance.
