looks good to me. I would lower it first to see how you like it. the offsets/tires you have are right there once you drop it.

^ I wouldnt go anymore then 5mm and I think its time for coils then to fix the front "or" go with a + size tire to fill the void. One bad thing with springs. That was the one thing I didnt like about the Tein Springs was the front gap but they where a great spring with the OEM set up.

I was just in an IS with JIC and it was amazing! I was expecting a very harsh ride. Your call and what you want for looks and drive ability I know you are limited to one set up but I say its worth it....I know I will have some springs for sale now thanks to another member on here

yeah...i think im getting the coilovers, but still im worried thatmy offset is not enough and it would be more ugly to get lower if the offset is not enough, so i just wanna get it done together. and if v2 spacer are not avaible in 10mm, then v1 spacer are too expensice because of the intallnation....i really don't know what to do..

if you want ask mikez on the fourm he has AWD with custom spacer that work great on our car i think he just has 10mm on the rear tho also if you go that aggresive the most you can stretch with the AWD is 225-35/255-30-19 which is closet to stock dia. that was my orginal tire size but they didnt make them for the INVO so i went with what i have now
