Consensus on ride height? I see a lot of guys running ~5" from ground to pinch weld and ~1/4-1/2" higher in the back.

I only run 1/8" higher in the rear. Works for me.

It will all depend on your driving style and what you like your car to do.

Most important thing is a crisp turn in, which is a larger rake right?

The OEM one in the catalog looks like this (legal):

Rs one looks like this (not legal):

Wait so because the 5ad spoiler gets installed at the port it's legal??

You can run any spoiler lip you want as long as it is sold in one of the FRS models. The RS is a US model, you can run the spoiler off that car

IE There are many S2000 non-CR running CR front lip and rear spoiler in STR.

F. Addition of spoilers, splitters, rear wings, bumper covers, valances, side skirts, and non-functional sccops/vents is allowed provided that either:
1. It is a production part which is standard or optional equipment of a US model of the vehicle. (“Model” is defined in Section 12.3.)
2. It is listed in the vehicle manufacturer’s US accessory catalog for that vehicle for normal highway use. This does not allow for parts sold through a manufacturer’s performance catalog (e.g., Ford Racing, HPD, Mazdaspeed, Mopar Performance, Mugen, NISMO, SPT, TRD, etc).

Parts must be installed as directed by the manufacturer. Exact replicas,including weight, from alternate sources are also permitted.

You are quoting rules from Street, not ST.

The front splitter is separate from the front bumper on the BRZ. Probably the same for the FRS

According to "fast phil" (some local old guy who is a rule stickler and been doing this for decades). He even said he asked the scca specifically about it because he runs cs and really liked it and didn't want to take it off.

This is "STX" rules thread, not "CS"

I am aware of that. If it's legal in cs, it's legal in stx...

That's true, but the point you are making is not.

RS spoiler is legal for any FRS to run in STX. You also have the option to remove the spoiler on a RS if you want to run that in STX.

I mean, I didn't quote any actual rules, so... I'm sorry I missed the part about "production part of A model"?
