People typically opt to go with aftermarket lcas after coils to tame the rear camber.

I would suggest, as @tyler_win_photo has already, getting LCA to help with the wheels and tires you have chosen.

After doing some research and reading what others have used; I ordered a few other parts to "dial in" my coils. LCA, Adj. trailing arms, adj. toe arms, adj. sway bar end links front & rear, and a bumpsteer kit.

If I had that kind of budget, I would consider custom Olhins or KW3's. I just read this thread...

Good Luck!

to respond to everyone, my car currently is bare-bone stock (suspension wise). I have the performance package 2017 BRZ. Lookie:



Now regarding tires, i didn't fully research what exact tire to get, but prior to the 2017 BRZ, i was going to go with the continental extreme contact DW tires, but i know continental discontinued that specific one, and now has a one up from that. I just don't remember the name

If dropping down to 245s/35s prevents any rubbing without having to buy LCAs, i may opt for that route.

So to reiterate, if i went with 245/35, would that still require LCAs in the rear? or could i get away without those with that tire size? Side-note, any specific tire recommendations are welcome for our car. I live in phoenix, so no need for winter tires. summer performance all year round.

I am really glad i asked the question, because suspension has never been my forte, and reading all your responses made me happy, ha. Thank you all for your feedback.
