In this thrilling episode of Donut, the team embarks on a daring mission to revamp their FRS's lackluster suspension system. With a no-nonsense attitude, they tackle the car's underbelly, revealing a grim sight of worn-out OEM components and subpar aftermarket upgrades. From coilovers to control arms, tie rods to hubs, bearings to rotors, no part is spared from their quest for automotive excellence.
Witness the dramatic shift from the mediocre Raceland coilovers to the top-tier BC's BR series, a move that promises a ride quality transformation. But that's not all – a bold lug pattern conversion by GK Tech opens up a world of JDM wheel possibilities, injecting a dose of performance and style into the FRS. The addition of GK adjustable control arms hints at the team's aspiration for precision steering angles, essential for any sideways action.
As the team struggles with stubborn ball joints and resorting to unconventional methods like a blow torch, the tension rises. A visit to a wheel shop adds a touch of suspense as they explore new wheel options to complement their suspension upgrades. Meanwhile, a glimpse into the car's troubled past involving a reckless joy ride sheds light on the challenges faced in restoring this automotive gem.
Amidst the chaos, the team's determination shines through as they clean and paint the rear knuckles, aiming for a pristine finish. From the thrill of wheel negotiations to the meticulous process of masking off bushings for painting, every step is a testament to their unwavering commitment to turning this FRS into a true showstopper. Stay tuned as Donut's journey to automotive perfection unfolds, promising excitement, challenges, and ultimately, a triumph of engineering prowess.
