Default my awd finally dropped

hey guys,

here's a few pics of my awd dropped with tanabe's nf210 for the is350. i had the springs for over almost two months and finally had them installed yesterday. it rides pretty much just like stock and rubs only a little bit when the wheels are at full lock.

thank cathafer, chickenboy and lexussara for their useful info.

any recommendations for an alignment place in the d.c. area?

thanks n happy motoring.

best place for an alignment is Curry's auto. Before I bought my IS (yesterday) I had a heavily modified Acura TSX, and wouldn't take it to anyone else. They are the best.

Don't know where you live but there are four locations spread over NoVA. The Great Falls one is where I always took my car, really good guys.

Looks really good. Are your front tires 8.5" wide? Hard to believe they even rub at all, since the front drop is only 0.8".

sup tpizarro,

my fronts are only 8" wide, but even with my stock 225/17's, they would rub at full lock. it rubs the front area of the wheel well slightly, it doesnt bother me that much. awd models actually sit higher by .5, so the total drop is closer to 1.5".
