Default Rate my ride 2

Sorry if you saw my first post but the rain finally stopped and I was able to clean my car. A lot of people sent personal messages wanting to see the car clean so I figured I would post again. Car is lowered on H&R springs 1.4 in the front ant 1.3 in the back. I would have loved to have gone lower but it is an all wheel drive so it already has the vibration from the lower and its my wifes daily driver. I have a lip kit and rear spoiler, HID's, LED DRL's and yellow fogs. Hope you like it but if you dont I still do lol, thanks.

PLEASE VIEW PICS ON PAGE 2 AS WELL BEFORE MAKING A DECISION.

Nice ride but not feeling the wheels. I don't like big gap between the spokes.

I am not sure what it is about the first picture. The car doesnt look lowered. I can only blame the angle of the driveway and the lighting. Maybe its the lack of rubber on the tires but it seemed to have a gap between the fender and the tire in the rear.

The paint is clean as hell, mad props on keeping the black that clean. With the paint looking that good, you should hunt around for different lighting to really show it off. Its a good start!

Everything looks good. I think you should get another set of wheels. Your wheels currently doesn't match well with your IS.

I think the style of the wheel makes them look bigger than they are. The car looks clean, but +1 on getting a new set of rollers.

do you have a closer shot of the wheel gap? Also did you just replace springs and not shocks? if so hows the ride quality?

I replaced only the springs and the ride is fine but I do have the vibration when in reverse or drive and at a complete stop. Dont know what causes it or how to fix it.... Hopefully those pictures clear up how much gap there is.
