Thread necro.

How have y'all been lifting the car? Those damned side skirts make it much more difficult than it should be. I tried a low profile jack but (1) it's too tall to fit under the front lip, and (2) the arm will hit the side skirts if jacking from the side.

I had my car on a commercial lift yesterday and there was no way to lift the car without bending the side skirts. It was terrifying, but the skirts seem to be OK now.

I've lifted it with a low profile jack. I was scared shitless because it came so close to skirts that it looked like I'm going to break them...it really looked like it's touching lol. But it worked

I drive up on to a piece of wood ~1" thick, then the jack fits easily.

To be honest the rear would be better with 30mm, but it's probably because some camber is showing due to being dropped by springs. The front looks perfect though. Most people here in the forums are running the same 20/25mm setup with spacers.

how much are you lowered on this?

Any blue series have interest in trading for a 2013 Genesis Coupe v6 3.8L track edition?

I know this was posted some time ago but I saw it was just quoted.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL running 20mm spacers on thethe Sti wheels. The Sti wheels do not have an indentation on the back of the wheel that the normal BRZ/FR-S wheel has. This makes you torque down on the spacer lugs instead of the face. Bad news to loose a wheel on an autocross or on the street.

Run 25/25 on STi wheels.

Or run extended studs and pass though spacer... bolt on spacers are the only ones that cause the problem, and it's a pretty obvious one. It would take a pretty special person to think they could drive with a 20mm bolt on spacer behind the wheels.

H&R work, cornerv3 do not. There's certain companies that do and some that don't. There's a thread about it somewhere

Shit. I already got 25mm Ichiba ones from the classfied section on this forum.

they're v2s and bolt on spacers. Am I shit out of luck now?

Just checked my wheels and they in fact do have the indentations... Maybe you were mistaken?

The 25s might fit, the 20mm definitely do not fit. I only had the 20mm.

They're tiny compaired to normal wheels. They WILL NOT fit 20mm v3 spacers. 25mm are unknown and 30mm seem like they might fit, if you like that hellauselessflush fitment.
