With the way the suspension is setup (in the rear parallel to the ground) would it even be wise to lower the car? I dont know how that affects feels performance etc.

That and the fender flares on the inside seems to only give about a couple inches of travel...so no drop for me!

I think they have litterally engineered the crap out of this car. If the suspension is as amazing as it seems...tires/brakes/engine might be all that is needed!!!

omgaad yes thank you soo much 86!!!!!

Don't forget, this isn't the final design so it'll change for sure

All concept cars are like that. The production car will have to meet ground clearance requirements and will definitely have smaller wheels.

So no production FT-86 at geneva and still no Subie concept. I wonder if we will have to wait until LA at the end of the year for those cars because the New york auto show is the last major show of this season? I highly doubt we will see a production FT-86 at New York although Subaru does have a habit of showing new STi's there.

My bet is we won't see the final production ver of FT86 along with Subie coupe concept til next year TAS.
