Well I had originally planned on getting 30mm for the rear anyway so maybe I'll just run 25 up front even with some poke...

Can anybody confirm if this set up will work?

Glad that was worked out. Thanks. I went for 25/25 from corner3 and it works. They didn't have 30mm (only 32mm) and in addition to not wanting quite that much poke and possible rubbing I thought it would look worse on a skinny 7" wheel than that much poke on a wider wheel.

2015 Series.Blue BRZ

Get spring first before you get spacers cuz with just spacers it really pushes the wheel out & emphasizes that gap. I had a 20/25 setup but I took it off cuz I play around with drifting a lot. Just don't feel right to do that with spacers. Better be safe then sorry.

I've changed my spacers btw... I'm now 20mm at front, 30mm rear. This seems to be the perfect combo. I think 25mm at front is okay too, but I don't like too much poke.

For those who have tracked with the stock front calipers--how bad does your caliper paint look? After one track day, my calipers were a little scorched in the middle:



Can I expect this to get much worse?

Are you running stock pads? If so it's probably just discoloration from the pad dust, and what looks like to be rain.

Have you tried to see if it washes off?

I have quite a handful of track days all on Winmax W3 pads, and don't think I have any discoloration, apart from scratched wheels after going off

Hawk HP+, and it doesn't wash off, even with brake cleaner. The paint is burned.

Has anyone ever needed to order parts with the blue stitching? I don't think it's possible...
