Super clean man! Keeping the mods simple and tasteful. How low are you...fender to ground? What are your alignment specs after installing the camber adjustments and getting the alignment? Once I find somewhere with a low-profile rack I'll be able to get mine done again. LOL!

I installed the wheels this weekend and it was rubbing way too much to my liking (I went lower than I did on my 250) so I raised it back up about 1/4" and took the car to get realigned. However I did not take a snapshot of the screen or a print out.

I like all the little things that you're doing to the IS. How's that exhaust run compared to the OEM one?

it's very simple but the expensive part will be the foglight switch and harness those two items were almost $90.00 bucks. After that I purchased a foglights harness kit for a corolla off ebay and wires it all up so the switch can turn the foglights on once it sees ignition.

If you are really interested send me a PM and I'll tell you of all the parts you will need and how to wire it up.

My IS is my daily and I would gladly get rid of it before my DA.

are you serious that you would get rid of the 2IS before the integra?

Serious as a heart attack as my Integra is 10 times more fun than the IS. I've had the car for 14 years and in that time I've raced it at numerous out cross events and road race events. My most fond memory was overtaking at NSX at Sebring by out breaking him into turn five at sebring as the suspension is heavily modified for it. One example is that most people think I did the 5 lug conversion to look "Cool" but in reality I did it for the 5mm wider stance at each corner and the bigger brakes.

So yeah.....I would sell the IS before my DA9.

Miss having the LSD out back? Crossing fingers in 2014 I'll procure either a IS-F Torsen or a Quaife LSD.

That's the mod I miss the most out of my 250. No matter how sophisticated the electronics on this 350 are they do not compare to the torsen LSD I had in the 250. I have an onramp that I take to get home every day and I’ve used it to compare the set up of both cars and the 250 still felt more neutral going through the same turn at the same speed.
