Haha running out of things to do on the IS. Interior is on the list, then after that...well im not too sure.
I miss my black wheels, but I do love the red. I agree it is flashy though haha, thats why I do not drive the car as much; its mainly for shows / meets.
I bought the harness on ebay for like $8.00 iirc. I need to modify and then try to integrate the system. Will try to get it done sometime this week if not next weekend.
Car is going in Monday for alignment and coilover adjustment

I have been on Super downs for less than a month and I'm ready to go to coilovers. How much lower were you able to go on coilovers vs. Super Downs for DD'ing?
I'm pretty sure we're running the same size wheels/offsets/tires. I'm on 20X9 +32, 245/35/20 and 20x10 +45, 275/30/20. Did you have to do any fender mods? Thanks Josh..

What spring rate to you get for your swift springs. How has the body roll diminish, no need for strut bar or sway bars since you did the coils?
Thanks, looks great.

I forgot what brand I am using, I got em from Takemi-San from Lexon Japan through one of my friends...long story haha
With the coilovers, you can drop the car pretty close to the wheel lip. I shaved my rear fenders, I havent done any fender mods to the front.
I went with a 12kg/10kg setupup; stock BC was at 8kg/8kg. Car handles alot better then it did with the super down springs; a night and day difference. At my current height, I only experience minimal rubbing on the linear when I hit huge dips. Ride quality wise, its firmer then stock, but very comfortable.
