All it needs is the better looking HID headlights from the Toyota 86 High Spec, and it is golden!

Definitely a poormans_LFA

Agreed on the headlights. I can't imagine that it was such a large cost reduction that it was necessary, I mean... even Kia has HID and LED strips on over half of their vehicles.

yea they did throw together a lot really quick i will give them that.

So this car just has 5X100 to 5x114.3 adapters? So the offset of +45 or whatever would really come out to about +25 ish prolly?

with this statement:

opted to prototype a hub conversion to open the options to the more popular 5x114.3mm pattern. With this conversion in place, GReddy selected a staggered setup featuring 19x8.5-inch (+45mm) Volk Racing G12s in the front and 19x9.5-inch (+35mm) G12s in the rear.

It is a full hub conversion not an adapter like what you are probably thinking of

The GReddy FR-S looks like a Supercar. It made me want to with black for my FR-S, even though I already have a black car.

good post . thanks for the new info

yep and that makes sense why there is a bearing hole in the axles of this car.

Hopefully they will make it into the final production car. Nothing is set in stone yet and there is still 6 months to go.

I can see it //TRD Headlamp upgrade : $550.00

said it before and i'll say it again: when @ the FR-S premiere we asked Jack Hollis about the L.E.D./HID lamp combo. paraphrasing his words, "how many people want it and how much do we sell it for?? that is the question we're asking right now. probably won't be available at launch. probably another six months later."

Actually we don't know that unless someone got a good enough pic to see if the spacers are there between the rotor and wheel. Since we don't know what the stock hub/knuckle looks like (but it's likely a WRX unit with that hole in it anyways) you can't determine much of anything from that pic. Those aren't STI knuckles and I'm sure Greddy didn't make their own, so unless the 5x114.3 bearings and hubs can be pressed/bolted into the wrx knuckles then a simple spacer coversion is much more likely.

Didn't the MotoIQ determine it was just STI calipers and rotors (and motos pics show that too, they don't show a 6/4 setup)? In that case, did Greddy do two of these or is dsport wrong?

Looks like the bearing and studs are bolted to the hub, chances are greedy found another car with 5x114 bolt on bearings and modified them to suit the gt86 hub

I think after release a "real" look/tear down will be needed (if they are in fact Impreza parts "slightly" modified then the questions are:

How?

When?


Then get the ball rolling

AS1 hub

Why bother with that when they could just bolt on a set of cheap spacer adapters? They had a week to setup a jig to make the exhaust, figure out what suspension parts to use, order whatever parts they needed, etc. Searching for and finding that perfect bolt in hub isn't likely something they would have had time to deal with. Either the STI ones directly fit in the as1 hub (happy jdlm? :P ) or they just went the easy and fast route.

If I had a week I know which route I would have gone.. 1st try to bolt on STI knuckles, and once that failed, bolt on spacer adapters. They did it for a reveal, it's not like it had to be the best setup ever.

I am intriqued by a real conversaion to STI hubs simply for easier 17x8.5" wheel selection but I won't run spacer adapters to get 5x114.3 instead.
