Best setup I've seen yet! I like the fact that they look clean. May I ask a rude question? How much for the wheels/tyres?

That is awesome . . . do you have any low rear shots to see how the rear tires/rims look? that is just bad!

Just found this thread - good stuff!

IS_250 - you get my vote for best setup (car color, rim/tire, suspension and photo ):



Wow.

Hafta say the 18s/19s on stock suspensions mostly don't look right - the cars need lowering. Just like on the 2GS though, dubs seem to work ok with stock setup.

About rubbing - one factor is the SUSPENSION and not the rims/tires - on my GS (I no longer have) when I went from 1" lowering springs/shocks to coilovers my rubbing on oversized tires on 19s went away!

Anyway, love the pics everyone, thanks for sharing.

19x8.5 and 19x10 CCW SP18's and NO RUBBING on Eibachs:







I'd JUST installed the springs on in these pics and the car had yet to settle completely. Now, the car is setteled, slightly lower than pictured, has no rubbing, and I can't tell a difference in ride quality!

Yup, only one kind.

Here's a few more pics:





Researching exhaust options now. I like the true dual design of the LMS, but prefer the canister and tip of the Tanabe. I know this sounds crazy, but I' actually considering buying both and modifying them to attach the tanabe canisters to the LMS piping.

^^^ That car looks nice, and your settup is on tanabes and the front isn't or doesn't look higher then the rear? curious to know why most settups on the tanabe the front looks much higher, but yours looks really good. nice one.
