Rate my ride 2

Sorry if you saw my first post but the rain finally stopped and I was able to clean my car. A lot of people sent personal messages wanting to see the car clean so I figured I would post again. Car is lowered on H&R springs 1.4 in the front ant 1.3 in the back. I would have loved to have gone lower but it is an all wheel drive so it already has the vibration from the lower and its my wifes daily driver. I have a lip kit and rear spoiler, HID's, LED DRL's and yellow fogs. Hope you like it but if you dont I still do lol, thanks.

PLEASE VIEW PICS ON PAGE 2 AS WELL BEFORE MAKING A DECISION.

Nice ride but not feeling the wheels. I don't like big gap between the spokes.

YellowCopy 06-13-10 10:25 PM

I am not sure what it is about the first picture. The car doesnt look lowered. I can only blame the angle of the driveway and the lighting. Maybe its the lack of rubber on the tires but it seemed to have a gap between the fender and the tire in the rear.

The paint is clean as hell, mad props on keeping the black that clean. With the paint looking that good, you should hunt around for different lighting to really show it off. Its a good start!

blk250 06-13-10 10:44 PM

clean ride! can be lowered a bit more ?

Frosty250 06-13-10 10:56 PM

Everything looks good. I think you should get another set of wheels. Your wheels currently doesn't match well with your IS.

Hoovey689 06-13-10 11:00 PM

I think some bigger rotors and BBK are in order hah!!

omgswifty 06-14-10 01:03 AM

more low =D, rims look huge

Mv350 06-14-10 05:55 AM

DaNiELx626 06-14-10 01:16 PM

acefalcon2 06-14-10 01:49 PM

08ChrIS250 06-14-10 02:38 PM

maybe take better picts?? :)

xLexusIsFx 06-14-10 02:40 PM

the wheels are wayyy to big..

montgb 06-14-10 02:48 PM

I think the style of the wheel makes them look bigger than they are. The car looks clean, but +1 on getting a new set of rollers.

flektone 06-14-10 03:12 PM

do you have a closer shot of the wheel gap? Also did you just replace springs and not shocks? if so hows the ride quality?

I replaced only the springs and the ride is fine but I do have the vibration when in reverse or drive and at a complete stop. Dont know what causes it or how to fix it.... Hopefully those pictures clear up how much gap there is.

1 more pic of the back to clear up the gap questions.

xuningshen 06-14-10 10:09 PM

i think it just looks like a gap because his tire is like a xxx/30/20 (maybe xxx/25/20??) profile or something. shoot us some better pics of the whole car, you only got one of those really

Hoovey689 06-14-10 10:53 PM

I said it once I'll say it again. Those rotors are so tiny with 20's. Like a personal size pizza hah!!

Initial G 06-14-10 10:57 PM

Not feeling the rims as well but with those rims, you need a BBK. Car looks real clean though. What else are you planning?

TokerIS350 06-14-10 11:35 PM

element 114 spoiler?

I would like to get bigger rotors as someone mentioned earlier but they are so damn expensive. I would also like to red out my tails. Really nothing else, like I said it's my wifes daily driver and I am not really baller status.

syzygy 06-15-10 10:51 PM

I like the rim design.

LEXX135 06-16-10 02:13 AM

just slam the hell out of it then youll be alright ;)

DAZ1 06-16-10 04:50 AM

:)Your IS looks great as is. Great list of appearance items to give it the right look.

08ChrIS250 06-16-10 06:35 AM

first picts did the car no justice... looking at the other ones now.... i kinda like it :) I have AWD too.... whats the ride like dumped on 20s?

eskae3 06-16-10 07:38 AM

Not feeling the rims either. but looks good overall.

hopefully that shows the wheel gap better

spicaly 06-16-10 03:25 PM

No, I was originally looking for 19s but fell in love with those wheels. I honestly think in person everyone who said they hate the wheels would love them. I remember when I got them on and my wife sent me a pic of them I wanted to return them immediately. Then I got home and was in awwwwww of the look. Pics just dont do them justice at all.

Ride is actually very nice, im on springs though. However I do have hte classic vibration when I am in "D" or "R" and my foot is on the brake.

You were right the first time with your guess of 30's would like 35's but they would rub when I turn.

s4play 06-16-10 10:17 PM

Totally not my cup of tea, sorry - those rims look way too big, makes those brakes look even smaller than they are! If you have stock brakes, try a mesh wheel to hide the brakes man.

Batmobile 06-16-10 10:28 PM

how wide are your wheels?

RYLITT 06-16-10 10:40 PM

you need a BBK to complete the look with those wheels.
