love the color contrast with black and red, good choice

It will look killer once you lowered it a bit

Would you consider 225 to be too much stretch on a 8.75 tire?

considering the XXR 527 18x8.75 +35 chromium black on my silver brz. im thinking of getting the sti pink springs 15mm and doing the full sti body kit. will that be low enough? i want to keep a comforatable ride and not be hitting curbs and bumps all day. im guessing the front lip and side skirts make it look lower?

Not really, seems to be a popular size with that width. I run it and its not much of a stretch you can always do 235 if you want

If its low enough must be decided by your own taste. I'm running eibach pro Kit which lowers 25/30mm, with the aero Kit, and I had so far no issues with any parking garage/speedbumps. There are ofc limits to that, but i had way more troubles with my lowered 350z that had no bodykit at all.

How about the check out this thread, there are tons of different setups listet there with pictures and all http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18661

And, we cant really answer your question since you dont state what you want. Flushness, maximum low, cheap track setup, daily driving, grip, drift etc.

you wont need anything but springs if you wanna slam it get coils. camber bolts worst case scenario for the rear.
