the TiC's are not clearance friendly.
most coilovers are wider than the stock struts in the front and rear.
the rear you can do the camber bolt/plate trick and gain some clearance (and still get your "total" camber you're looking for).
another thing to do would be to find a WRX owner or another STi owner willing to test.
slap on the BBS's i'm curious on the clearance with those.
also what is your clearance to your trailing arm? |
Ok, I put the BBS in the rear and the strut clearance is very similar to that of the Volks. About 1 finger length (around .5 inches), I'd say slightly more room than the Volks. Trailing arm clearance is about 2 finger lengths, around 1 inch. Here's the pics:
Stock 17x7.5 BBS with 225's:
As you can see, I theres room for about 1 (around half an inch) of my gloved fingers:
Out of focus pic of the trailing arm clearance:
2 gloved fingers (Around an inch)

Thanks for the suggestions. The KW V3's are also high on my list. I've also considered RCE's T2's but I'm worried they may be a tad bit too stiff. I definately do want to research the subject a bit more though, as I'm not trying to skimp on one of the most important components on the car.
