Maybe useless for him. Look at Lance's have almost all the stuff (front, side, rear kit, 18" wheels... & last time, I've heard, he's adding something on the spoiler). So it's all up to some ppl |

I, myself, wanted that classic Subaru 4/2 brakes. I'm hopping they make one for 86/BRZ, so I don't have to do full custom work on it |

Don't know if it's been posted in English yet. The xv and forester sound pretty cool. Then there's the damn jersey shore edition brz. |

Anything over 18 feels too big for this car, and even that is pushing it for some people.

With a car this light it'll only weigh it down, not to mention hurt track handling as pointed out in a previous video. I wonder what they are thinking with this concept. Really it makes no sense.

Totally agree. TRD & Tada-san said, 18 is perfectly fine (as long as you setup the suspension correctly)... but 19? IDK, I think Subaru is hiding something and I think, they'll announce it next yr (again, this is my guess & IDK ANYTHING) |

Your right, this may be some kind of placeholder for what they plan to do in the future. However, I agree I think that 18 is plenty. 19 is really pushing it, unless they plan on going 420+ theres no need for it. If anything you defeat the whole purpose of the car itself, which is a track monster.

If it was 86/FR-S, purpose of this car would of been, not making monster power car. BUT for Subaru side, that's not the case. Subaru motto on this project is "Confidence in Motion" vs Toyota is "Built by Passion, not by Committee" & Subaru only stated their goal was to make the engine low as possible... so they might dish out something different down the future... but I wouldn't hold your breath on it |
