If I'm not mistaken, it's the same rims as mine. It comes with the car in Australia if you get the BRZ S model.

They are Sti Enkei rims 15 spoke 17x7.5+48.

Sorry, to clarify I want to know the suspension setup he has, like spacers, amount of drop, etc.

Well I'd assume he's running coilovers over the amount of drop. It looks good but hit a few pot holes/enter a few drive ways and or attempt to go over a speed bump... Let me know how the outcome is.

I like low but that is beyond daily functionality low.

Wheels can be Enkei rs05rr, maybe xxr 550?

He's not after the rims, just the set up.

I don't think it's running spacers because it clears by a fair bit. Most likely a drop of like 8-9cm. Stock height is roughly 13cm. Plus he has the sti side skirts.

He's running into trouble going over bumps, dips, driveways etc. unless he's on an airbag setup and that photo was just taken when parked. i really hope that he doesn't drive around like that.

Probably airbags, because if that's a static suspension, he isn't "running" anywhere.

Definitely airbags. Can't tell if he has spacers, but if he does, they're no more than 15mm.

As much as the tire/wheel is tucking into the quarter panel, I doubt there is any spacer. I don't think I see open ended lug nuts on extended studs either, so if he has a spacer, he's going to be "running" into more problems very soon.

There are two types of spacers, one of which does not require you to have open ended lug nuts on extended stufs, dont jump to conclusions.

Anything more than a 3mm spacer is unsafe on the stock studs because you won't have enough stud thread on the outside of the wheel for the lugnuts to sit on.

The "two types of spacers" I think you're referring to are hub-centric and non hub-centric which has to do with proper centering rather than whether or not you need extended studs or not.

Edit: Actually, you may also be talking about the spacers with stud extensions already on them. Those are generally much thicker, and definitely wouldn't fit on the above setup. Like this:

I think by two types of spacers he means adapters and spacers.

The two types of spacers he's referring to are slip-on and bolt-on. You're right that you can't use more than a 3mm spacer on the stock studs, but you also can't use any less than a 12mm bolt-on spacer. That's because there isn't enough material under the new lugnuts to guarantee that they won't rip out. So anything between 3-12mm will be a slip-on spacer that requires longer studs. Above 12mm can be either slip-on or bolt-on. I have 20mm and 25mm bolt-on spacers on my car.

Given how much tire is being tucked, I don't think this car has any spacers at all.

You caught me before I added the edit :D

at least his wheel aren't bent inwards looking like the suspension imploded

Bingo. I have a couple of those, I use them to adjust handling since I cant swap out my suspension in current time attack class and they can be as slim as 15mm. Whether that car has or not is another story tho.

I have an incredibly revolutionary idea to find out how that car is set up. You see how in the instagram post the owner's page is tagged? Why don't you send the owner a message asking this question.

It says account doesn't exist. I tried.

Bagged. /thread

Sti alloy wheels with air ride probably.

That's unfortunate. :/

Evidence destroyed, returned to stock, sold as "never modified, stock, babied" :D

I remember there were a few guys running extremely low and static, maybe go through the aggressive wheels thread in fr-s section, if you really wanna go that way.

You can run a 5mm spacer. I had it on mine in the front and travelled for 3000+ miles around the west coast. No issue. 5mm is the max load.

It's funny how people think driving low is hard.

Unfortunate they didn't actually tag the account in the photo because that will at least update as/if the person changes their IG handle. Looks like it could be static or on air, height could be realistic for both unless someone knows for certain

Hopefully it's realistic for static, cause that's what I'm doing.
