So I noticed the first two pages have a lot of questions about LiftedBRZ's setup. I'm happy to answer any questions on his behalf.
I'm the guy who has done the majority of the mechanical work on the car with him, or redone old work that either he or I weren't happy with. (I'm looking at you....Borla welders....) He's currently on Flatout Rally coilovers. We had a set of ADF lift spacers but ended up with the coilovers shortly after. The plan is to run all the ADF geometry correction with the Flatout coilovers. The flatouts are quite nice, and seem to be smooth, adjust accordingly. We've done a few adjustments and revisions. I think the next go-round we're going to look into external reservoir fronts and keep softening it. The front end of that car takes a pretty serious beating.

what were some of the pitfalls or complications you run into lifting our cars and running 215/65/16 tall tires on them? I know fender liners, rubbing, alignments, etc become issues. To put it another way: what are the real world pros and cons of doing this, and what are some compromises you should be willing to make for the benefits?

We ended up with some positive camber issues that were to be resolved with LCA's and camber bolts, but the Flatout coilovers handled them. Additionally, some of the good lift kits resolve this issue also. The ADF kit has camber and caster built in. My sisters Forester has a Subtle Solutions lift kit, and I really disliked it. It doesn't have the geometry correction built in, when I removed it two of their supplied bolts snapped. I contacted them and they said 'they are factory spec'. The factory puts studs there, not bolts. So the bolts are under way more friction, thus the issue at hand. Same thing happened when we pulled the subtle kit from @LiftedBRZ's car. We did not care for that kit. Fender liners are looooong gone. They tore out quite a while ago. Due to his high speed life we haven't resolved that issue yet, but I've made some cardboard templates to build an all in one eurathane fender liner, and small mud flap to direct stuff away from the car. Granted, this is specific to the rocket bunny kit so I imagine the community use case would be pretty minimal. One of the biggest issues we're running into is getting a front strut that's soft enough for how hard he's pushing. We may be making a few changes I'm not sure he's willing to disclose to the greater community yet that make is less dramatic in a few ways, but should be much more potent.

I'm so glad you brought this up because I was definitely eye balling the subtlesolutions kit but was worried about the alignment issues. Thank you for pointing to ADF as a solution.
From their site it looks like they have a 2'' lift kit that has the camber/castor correction built in, as well as a special order option for ostensibly different heights and configurations too http://andersondesign-fab.com/2-spacers-copy-copy.html Quote:
Another option that has since occurred to me for ultimate ease of use would be to go with a more traditional rally sized 15'' (making sure it clears our brakes) with a 205/65/15 or 195/65/15 configuration in conjunction with, say, the adf 2'' lift kit mentioned above. That would probably come closest to actually recreating the look of the nameless rally car from the front page of the thread without the need for different fender liners, etc. It also looks like that's close to the size Toyota's own CS-R3 rally car is running http://www.racingbytmg.com/en/motors...specification/ Thoughts? I've asked liftedbrz and liftedfrs on IG--but from your perspective--how do these cars handle specced the way they are when they AREN'T on gravel? Like normal roads?

I think these cars are amazing on dirt roads though. There are some local windy dirt roads that are often 'closed' that you can have a blast on, and the liftedbrz is about the most fun thing I've ever taken down them...I've only really had more fun on my friends aprillia with studded tires.

This was posted yesterday and it's about Leh Keen's Safari 911 in this thread doing the sorts of things we want to do.
Also cool that this was shot in my neck of the woods in Western NC! [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWNgs0mvoew"]https://youtu.be/LWNgs0mvoew[/ame]

I'm very curious what the minimum clearance would need to be to clear stock fender liners.
I think liftedfrz was doing a 215/65/16 on a 2'' lift right? Would a 195/65/16 on a 1'' or 2'' lift be small enough to keep the liners in place, which would be a good thing for those who'd like swap back and forth with minimum alterations.

Put my new snow tires on. These are 215/60r16 on 2002 or 2003 Subaru Forester wheels. Come at me, winter.

Found a few more awesome photos posted in November of a rally GT86 driver's car. You can read about his story here.
He's running a 205/45/17 for tarmac. I also like having the mud flaps sitting further outboard and lower than the rally armor versions. White also seems to be ideal for the rally look. Can anyone tell about how much extra height this car's running over stock front and back? The front seems to be the most different from stock, while the back appears to be almost the same as stock. Is it just an optical illusion or do other people see what I'm seeing? I looked at doing a 1'' lift all around but based on the one photo I've ever seen of this done on stock wheel/tires it looks too high--and much higher than what you see above. The guy I found on instagram used the Subtle Solutions 1'' lift, and doesn't appear to have kept in on very long:

I love this graphic on the side, I suppose this will be what I get when my rally set-up is done.
