Theres a reason you dont find them... Cause it looks horrible without a drop.

Stock height with IS300 rims but I changed the tires to 225/ 55/17 instead of 21/45/17 so that it can cover the gap little I prolly need at least 25mm spacers to make it look flush in the back. I suggest get the 17" if your not gona lower...

guess I'm gonna be getting L tuned springs with 18s, something like 18 x 10 in the rear. Those look extra high.

from what I read so far I think L tuned is the least lowest. I think eibach goes lower but don't quote me on that.

I used to be on 19's without drop but it's quite embarassing. Now I'm back on stock 17's until I can afford suspension.
