If I drop with this setup I will need to roll my fenders, get some smaller meats on the front and go from there. My rear tire is stretched and looks funny without being lowered lol.

Here's how flush it is @ stock ride height with stock size tire.

doesnt look bad on there but yea i agree, needs the drop i found a place sort of near me to roll my fenders, cost about $30 a fender and i only did the rear. im sure you could find something near you. yea the tire size im going with i hope it doesnt end up being "too" meaty. 235/45's in the front and 255/40's in the rear...see how it works

Can't wait to see should look damn good!

I may or may not drop it. The roads around here are far from forgiving. I would like to get coil overs but considering this is my DD I'd rather not drop the coin on them and not use them to their potential.
On the other hand I like you drop and may consider the same myself. Wish I had more IS's around that I can ride in with drops and suspension modifications..

well around my area...i think there are maybe 3 IS's with any sort of mods done to them at all. ive had buddies with SC's and GS's and kinda based off of their setups. hopefully can switch to coilovers one day, but i like the drop now and havent torn anything up yet lol. you could always go with something with a little less of a drop. i know the h&rs were 1.4"
