Any idea on what’s the good suspension setups you know about I can look at ? I’ll look at those tire numbers you gave - the widebody kit is mostly just cause I love the look . Has nothing to due with anything else .
Stock suspension is OK, but presumably you'll want to lower the car. Swift BRZ Sport (somewhat stiffer than stock) or Spec-R (a bit more stifferer than stock) will lower the car about 1.25", which for me is totally streetable.

You could keep stock struts/shocks, or consider going to something like Bilstein B6 or B8. Much better ride, with better-controlled low-speed damping for stiffer springs as well.

Lowering will increase negative camber in back, in my case to about -2.8 degrees. If that's too much for you, you could get adjustable lower control arms or offset control arm bushings.

Camber bolts could I think get you to -1.5 degrees up front which again IMO is desirable even for street only, and doesn't look ridic.


FWIW here's my car lowered 1.25" with -3.4 front and -2.8 rear camber:
