Pitty still no reviews on TRD rally coilover offering. As for reasonable non-rally coilovers for light use of such type .. i wonder if maybe KW ones with more travel wouldn't be better choice then B6?

STX?

Those are 16x7 and I think +35-ish offset.

PM me what you're looking for and we can go from there!

Ahhhh I saw your post in the other thread and we've been thinking it over. Timing isn't great at the moment but we're still hoping there's interest.

I really like the idea of using B6. Inverted monotube is preferred for rally, and with a raising spring you'll have plenty of travel.

Racecomp Engineering: i wonder what might be best way to gauge potential interest. Maybe some vote poll here or on your website? Or making one off for yourself, having some fun with that, posting reviews, and gauging interest from that point?

We've done both in the past. This is a tough one to gauge interest on but we've not given up.

Either way, there is more interest on this type of suspension when winter is coming, not ending.

But all that is for a different thread.

I was looking at some of the Braid wheels and wondering how light the forged ones are, even though some of the pricing sounds crazy if they are even lighter than the t66f they might be worth it. I know their normal sized wheels, and their heavy duty rally wheels tend to the heavier side of things.

Or if the 15" would be light enough to make changing brakes worth it.

Will any of the 15" Braids clear the stock caliper?

I really want to do an offroad/dirtroad raised spring, tall sidewall all terrain tire, with B6s now. This is perfect since i go camping all the time. It will also add clearance for my hitch.

15s aren't needed for a good off-road setup. 16" Braids will do just fine

Just ask Escudería Boricua Rally:https://www.facebook.com/escuderiaboricua/

A light-weight spare capable of clearing a BBK would be cool.

Not 100% sure. 16s yes definitely.

I'm actually not sure...I think they might be an older model. In some other shots you can see the BRAID decals.

EDIT: Okay, it looks like it depends on the final builder. Some use OZ or Enkei.

But here's a BRAID car:
