Default Finally lowered.

It's been 3 months since I got my car and I finally lowered it on Tein S-techs. Its only been a day but I want to go lower now , my rear is actually a little tucking...don't know if I should have spacers install?? Now that the car is dropped, I am in the market for wheels


White IS belongs to PearlIS250 (stock height).

looks good. I say get spacers in the mean time till you find some rims, or just save your money for the rims

Wow that's a good drop for springs. heartymyis just outta curiosity, didn't you say you were in the market for an Audi? That'd be great if you decided to keep the Lex and let the modding continue

Wow you've really sampled the spectrum of Luxury cars ie 335i => IS250 => to possibly C63 AMG. I personally will/would consider upgrading to an IS-F or going the Audi S4 route in the future. Anyway i'll stop thread jacking lol. Enjoy your springs
