Well if they are aluminum, OP should take a picture of them on a scale to give a potential buyer incentive

If you hop on the FT86 facebook page, I have photos of my fronts vs. stock weight on there.

They are aluminum, the ones with raised letters are cast.

I believe all front ones made by Subaru are cast iron, the rear ones are certainly aluminum. These dont have the raised letters but they are cast iron. They are comparable weight to the stock ones, but provide much better performance. LMK!

im very interested, if someone buys my coilovers i'll probably jump on these

BUMMMMMP!

I finally got my BRZ this past weekend (picked it up from Colorado Springs and drove it back to San Diego). First thing on Sunday, my dad and I did a custom fit of the Subaru 4/2pot setup. I can say now that the front is a direct swap! It took us 15minutes to install and we only needed like a 5-7mm spacer for the stock wheels to clear.

Let me know who wants these, as an added bonus, I went ahead and rebuilt these black calipers as well (I did it for my red ones) so they come with brand new seals and boots!

just let a friend know about these since he wants a set for his FXT. I Just got a set and plan to install them in a couple weeks, so according to your last post I do need spacers?

virjose · 06-27-2013, 07:42 PM

Sounds good and thanks for the referral! As far as the spacers, I believe I used either 5 or 7mm, and it clears it nicely, again, this is just on stock BRZ wheels, your friend on his FXT should have no problems.

Yeah I was referring to my BRZ. I already have a set of these that I am currently stripping down to repaint and rebuild and I was just seeing what I needed. Im running the stock wheels with Hotchkis Sport springs so Im gonna go with 20mm front and 30mm rear spacers. Should be good to go after that.
