it wont be that low. that was just me going up my driveway not where they are sitting. no rub in the rear at all and we dropped it pretty low and it looked so sick but I cant drive like that around here....I drive on the same roads you guys do and my driveway is a killer:/

we are going to adjust them today after work to balance out all 4 corners. It should look really good. ill get some pics.

Wow,

That is crazy!!! I remember having the 2gen IS and having to be careful and my springs were tall on the AWD (lol). I would be scared with the GS. Does look great from just the small pic alone. It is amazing what simply lowering a car does for looks and sometimes handling.

i cant even sneeze going up my driveway. I have to crawl and I got out of the car 4 times...I can fit a piece of paper under my exhaust. I can see where my exhaust rubbed last night...

I am raising the car tonight. Its not driveable as nice as it looks. I can barely turn my wheels and have to go so slow. everyone didnt know whether to flick me off for my driving this am or to give me the thumb up. The car dropped after we played with it so that didnt help me out.

I will have some pics once we get it correct.

Eric I need a NEW driveway....

^ When I left it was flush, sitting level, with the top of the lips in the rear. That was the driver side compressed with that lovely driveway of mine.

I am skyjacker up front now. Have to see what my options are to allow a little more breathing room. There is 2 spots that it wants to rub. One is the plastic liner so that is no issue...the other is a part of the fender and I dont want to damage that.

Anyone messed with the fronts on here rolled or shaved
