Default 250awd Dropped (Pics)

I have Been MIA from CL for a while now but i was still modding my IS during that time.
I used the Tanabe NF210 springs to drop the car, specs are around an 1" all around.
It Rides very similar to stock, but theres alot less body roll on corners. Enjoy.

Looks great, I just did the same to my AWD and looks 10x better than stock. Maybe it is just me, but i tend to feel all the bumps on the road now. Since I live in the city, I go extremely slow around bumps and get honked at all the time. Next is rims on the list for me, trying to make it look as good as yours ExclusivIS.

Yeah your probably going to have to reform your driving style a little, ESPECIALLY when you get your rims put on, then your gonna feel every little bump! NY roads are bad to begin with, so just becareful...good luck with the rims.

FYI I was in close contact with Eibach as well as Reggie from Tanabe, and Eibach doesnt even have a 250awd test car running their springs on it yet so they advised me not to buy their springs until they approve the fitting. However Tanabe did test the NF's on an awd and all is fine, which is why I went with these.
