ok you drop is the best ive seen so far, now i remember i had a 92 prelude sitting on 18" konig tantrums with 215/35/18 tires with a koni shocks and neuspeed springs, for some reason your fender gap looks just like what i use to have...so tell me the wheel dimensions for your wheels and tires size front and back and what did you lower it with???

haha sure, thanks for the compliment. my wheels are 20x8.5 +38 with 225/30/20 tires, and rear 20x10 +40 with 255/30/20 tires. i am using only tein s tech springs right now for temporary use as i am wanting to go with airrunner suspension sometime very soon. hope this helps.

I run Tein S Tech too but its not that low. You must have cut it or heat compressed it to get it that low.

I was wondering the same thing, I have not seen springs that drop the IS that low ever before. I thought he has coilovers.

ohh, i've seen that audi around. the black one with the loud exhaust

i think i also ran into you about a month ago when you were getting your car serviced at lexus serramonte. You pulled into the lot, then pulled out and went to the back of the dealership a different way. I was with 2 of my friends looking to trade in for a GS 430 or something and they were drooling over your car. Made me kinda depressed. lol. wish i had that kinda $$
