Couldn't you just get larger spacers in order to run more negative camber? That seems like the cheapest solution. Or, sell your wheels and get something narrower or with a lower offset.

Yeah it would be about $140 plus installation costs for 5mm spacers and ARP studs.

Edit: Plus another $100 or so for open ended lugs.

Meh, still cheaper than buying coils. And it'll make your car more racecar with the extended studs and open ended lugs. Win-win.


Sooo I got a ride in a 2015 Sti today. I was skeptical that they could improve the chassis that much but wow.. that thing handles so well even stock, totally flat through the corners. And it has a sound generator tube that I actually like, makes it so you can hear the turbo whoosh without a ricey BOV.

I'm excited to see comparisons between it and the 86.

Lots of tech transfer from BRZ/86 development I've read

Yeah that's why I'm curious about a comparo... a lot of things felt like the BRZ, the seats with proper bolstering and alcantara, the shifter, steering...

Now they just need to make an FA25 turbo.

Apparently the JDM Legacy GT makes close to 300/300 hp/tq with a variant of the turbo FA20. At the crank, anyway.
