Maybe we should trade cars (lol) I've got the same setup and I have 1 finger front and flush in the rear. Michigan roads aren't any better, I've got to be careful where I go. Couldn't be happier tho

I installed downs this last weekend and am rubbing in the driver rear with 20mm spacers on stock wheels/tires. Do you think an alignment will fix it? If not how far should I step it back?

debating on getting RSR Super Downs or RSR Downs... would it be wise to get the RSR Downs to allow me to have a better selection of 19 inch rims with various offsets so I don't rub?

jrsmix1 can you comment on the ride with the super downs? Its what I really want for eliminating the gap completely. I'll deal with whatever fitment issues I may have. My problem is I've heard people say the ride is bone-jarring-ly harsh and some have said its not that bad at all. I expect it to be a 'more harsh' ride than factory, I dont mind that one bit, but I dont want it so hard that the car feels unsettled on bumpier roads. I've had the harshest of harsh on previous cars and its not what I'm looking for on the IS. If the only way to accomplish the height without that bad of a ride, I'll consider coils but not trying to outlay the cash for the RSR or BC coils a this time.
Thoughts?

Super Downs
97 Acura,
That ride is a little bouncy with the Super Downs in the front. It does get the car lower then what you'd expect. My wife is the daily driver so I had to raise the front up for to keep her from scraping going in and out of the driveways. I have the Downs in the Front and Super Downs in the rear now. Plus it leveled the car out and I don't have that rake look to it. I got the look I wanted, smooth ride back and not bouncing around anymore.

How is your camber did it affect it? Do you have to get the camber kit? How did it affect cornering? I drive the car at around 230kph and around 120 in the corners. Will it affect the cornering performance or will it be better since it has higher spring rate?

It didn't affect the camber. Cornering is amazing! And the best of it all, I didn't lose that smoothness from Lexus!!
