While we're on a tangent to bottom lips: Does anyone know of similar products available or in development for the FRS?

loving this except for the vortex generators. i'd rather do w/o the wing too but it's not as offensive as the VGs.

So, there is a lot of talk about staggered set ups creating understeer.
There are a lot of cars that are sold new with a staggered set up so surely this can tuned out with appropriate suspension work? I really like the staggered look but my brz will be used on track quite a lot so its definititely function > form for me. Any peeps got some guidance in this area? Thanks

So from the looks of the sizing chart, I'm guessing a custom order PCD was required for the rear wheels to come in that width/offset.

Could you tune the chassis to re-balance the car after adding wider rear tires? Using a combination of springs/dampers, sway bars and aggressive alignment settings you probably could, but that would involve a whole lot of work just to fix something that was intentionally 'broken' in the name of aesthetics. If you have an abundance of power to break the rears loose and need wide rubber to contain them that's one thing but there's a reason that the hardcore track S2K and Miata guys tend to favour square setups. Having said that, nobody's proven things one way or another through actual testing on these cars yet. Just my 2c.

It doesn't look like +38 all around, the rears look to be less with its concavity

The staggered setup looks undoubtedly hot.
