The car looks good, but the wheels/fitment would look better if it was lower. At least the rear. I think the issue is you went with a rear tire that is an inch bigger overall diameter compared to stock. The thick/tall sidewall exaggerates things.

I've been running a 18x10.5 with a 255/35 in the back for over a year now. The lip of the wheel was an inch or less from the fender, poked, and there was maybe 2mm between the tire and fender. And that was with less than -1.5* of camber.

11's are easily doable if you balance the offset/tire size. It's just that no one realized they could run 11's until recently and the guys with aggressive/wide wheels don't care to get a new set just to say they have 11's.

 

^ And believe me guys, if I could go lower I would.

I ran out of coilover.. the only lowering I could do now is with less preload. I'll be buying RCA's and LCA's and those will do my lowering for me and ill be able to add a little more preload.

 

what coils are you on? just curious try getting shorter higher spring rates ....look in figs LCAs if u arent a camber fan...corey your IS is looking good doode!!!

 

Mike at Figs MAY still sell his lowering spec RCA hysteer parts. I bought those a while back to fit LS400 calipers and I think they lowered the front about an inch.

And Figs also MAY have some lowering spec Mega arms. Something about the angle of them allows the car to go lower but still maintain the alignment adjustability of the regular Mega Arms.

All Figs stuff is great, and he can build basically anything you'd want. So I'd suggest getting in contact with him.

And lowering more by going with less preload sucks I had to with my coils to get as low as I was. I raised it back up this week and it rides so much better...

Good luck with the rest of the build though!

 

Thanks a bunch! I'm hoping to have all the arms and RCA's and suspension done soon.

Jimmy @ Vex Performance is lining up everything I need to start my build, cant wait to get ordering!

looks clean!

 

Thanks dude.

It'll be in hatermode when it's done. Can't wait.

 

been a while since I updated this, been busy building other things.. some cool stuff showed up

STACK - Boost + EGT Gauges


STACK Race Series Cluster ... probably the coolest thing i've ever bought... milspec connections and all that.. super insane part.


Also got replacement bolts/nuts/washers for my entire engine bay + engine in purple titanium.

More pics to come soon, also got a friend with a 2JZGTE core that I will begin to build hopefully tomorrow.
