You should be ok.

inb4 he buys wheels without coils and the wheels don't fit.

OnionTou · 02-18-2015, 08:58 AM

I dunno.

A buddy of mine had bought some work wheels 18x9.5 with 38 offset, and couldn't install them because the stock coilovers are too wide. He bought tein streetflex and he's ok now.

BTW, he fitted 255 tires. 265's were too wide as well.

First things first, go to the wheels section of the forum and look for similar setups, there are millions. Second 225 is way to damn to be comfortable imo for a 9.5 but doable. Third it'll fit but you'll need camber and plenty.

I dont plan on using stock, as I said I'm buying these for coils:

KW Suspension V3

BRZFanatix · 02-18-2015, 10:54 AM

Are these cambers good with the KW coils im getting?

Whiteline Rear Camber kit I would get cambers for both rear and front

Racecomp Engineering · 02-18-2015, 10:59 AM

You will be able to adjust camber up front without buying extra parts with KW V3.

The WL rear camber kit will work but it is a difficult install and some shops don't like adjusting it.

Since you're a self-admitted suspension newbie, I'd highly recommend buying your suspension parts from an BRZ/FRS shop that knows things about suspension. There are a couple good ones on this board. That way when you have a question after you receive your stuff, you can get professionals to help you.

Thanks good to know! And I will talk so them!!! So at least I don't have to buy a camber kit for the front, which kit in the back would be better than WL since you said some shops don't like adjusting it? Is there a better choice than WL?

Thanks for your patients with me andy! I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my newbie questions.

Edit:

Andy I found these Adjustable rear arms? These good ones? Cusco Lateral Arm Rear Adjustable

I'd recommend SPC for your application. It's a much cheaper option and it does the job pretty nicely. If you want to spend the extra cash for a good part, get SPL.

Those would these be good for the rear?

SPC Performance

And here is the SPL you were talking about:

SPL Pro Suspension

Are the ones I chose the right ones? I might as well get the SPL then

Yes, those are the ones.

If you're mostly going to DD/Canyon your car(with a couple track days a year), the SPC is good enough. I only recommended SPL because I know the quality is good and I heard its easier to adjust (for alignment person) than Cusco - plus its in the same price range. Either way, can't go wrong with either of those. Just be sure and get the newest version of the SPC.
