Yup, and they'll fabricate anything you want. IMHO I think it's best to build in your alignment specs to the lift, using camber bolts on a car that's going to be jostled this hard is going to be rough on it, and an eccentric LCA setup is liable to slip. We were going to try it, but I'm glad we didn't have to lol.

From their site it looks like they have a 2'' lift kit that has the camber/castor correction built in, as well as a special order option for ostensibly different heights and configurations too http://andersondesign-fab.com/2-spacers-copy-copy.html

Yep, tell them what you want, and they'll make it!

It's a lot of work, but that's exactly why i feel there could be a market for it--more especially if it was made for stock, non wide body cars. The availability of enlarged fender liners on our cars would definitely be of interest to some I'm sure.

Agreed, I even considered making a set for my car just because I don't like stock fender liners lol. I built a set for a friends WRX and they've held up really great. The stocks have been fine for me though so until I tear them out I'll leave them alone.

Another option that has since occurred to me for ultimate ease of use would be to go with a more traditional rally sized 15'' (making sure it clears our brakes) with a 205/65/15 or 195/65/15 configuration in conjunction with, say, the adf 2'' lift kit mentioned above. That would probably come closest to actually recreating the look of the nameless rally car from the front page of the thread without the need for different fender liners, etc. It also looks like that's close to the size Toyota's own CS-R3 rally car is running http://www.racingbytmg.com/en/motors...specification/

Thoughts?

I think something like this isn't a bad idea. If I personally were to go down this road, I'd likely go WRX 4/2 pots to get the better clearance with 15" wheels, and run take off rally second tires. Super cheap, (think $100 for a set of 4 medium stiffness tires...) 4/2 pots will bias nicely, (running 4 pots on the liftedbrz.) I'd also start with a 1" lift spacer to see if that's really the road you want to go down, and how much more you actually want!

I've asked liftedbrz and liftedfrs on IG--but from your perspective--how do these cars handle specced the way they are when they AREN'T on gravel? Like normal roads?

Decent. It's clearly still an amazing chassis, but the reality is you've added a lot of compliance in the tire/sidewall, you've added whatever your lift height is in leverage on the stock suspension components, if you're spacing wheels out for clearance and wideness you're changing scrub angles etc.

I think these cars are amazing on dirt roads though. There are some local windy dirt roads that are often 'closed' that you can have a blast on, and the liftedbrz is about the most fun thing I've ever taken down them...I've only really had more fun on my friends aprillia with studded tires.
