    From what I read about the FRS, it seems like the Subaru BRZ is a bit better car. The transmission is a bit tighter, the interior is nicer, but other than that they are pretty much the exact same car. I would be happy as a clam with either one though :laugh:

    Only difference between the Subaru and scion is more upgrades like better seat and spoiler and hids etc. mechanically the car is exactly the same including transmission

    The scion doesn't have upgraded packages like the Subaru has. The scion only has accessories u can add to the car. Everything on the car of the scion has Subaru stamped on it for the most part.

    The scion is a scion branded, Toyota designed, Subaru built car

    Not a fan of white rims. Have them on my trans am and they are hard as fuck to keep clean and look like shit after driving in traffic for a little while

    Can someone tell me what a good price for the following items would be. All were removed at 8300 miles from my 2011 Tacoma Trd DC LB. I may be missing some also. I will be picking everything up tomorrow and take some pics.

    TRD Bilstein SHocks (front n rear)
    Coil Springs
    Stock UCA's
    ??

    I believe there are more parts however not sure what they are

    I know :D

    I have done quite a bit of reading about both vehicles. While the are the "same" car, most articles I have read have said something to the extent of the BRZ having a more responsive gearbox than the FRS. Do I know for certain? Nope, haven't driven either one. I like the front end of the FRS better but the back end of the BRZ looks much better IMO. I think the FRS rear end looks too much like the T-C.

    You have stock UCA's. If you're looking for TRD suspension components, you can have mine for $75. There were removed at 7400 miles and promptly cleaned. And the front coilovers are still put together, so it includes top hats and such.

    Ok...... Isn't that what the TRD part was all about?? Honestly, I'll be happy just to have them gone!! Btw. TRD equipped trucks do NOT have different stock UCA's

    do what makes you happy. I don't like making compromises. When I build something, the only limit I place is my budget. But I normally have an idea in mind before I even make the vehicle purchase.
