I'm just curious how many of you actually DD your lowered IS. I see all these pics and think "Damn, that looks sick! Sucks that you can't drive your car." As much as I like the look of our IS's lowered, I'm going to have to stick with the stock ride height on the Sports suspension because I DD my car.

 

There is lowered then there is lowered. I have the 1" drop.

 

Daily driving a "slammed" car isn't THAT HARD. If you can't daily drive a car on lowering springs, without any issues, you probably should rethink driving at all.

My Old DD (Not what I would considered slammed, but decently low):

 

Daily drive over 70 miles a day to work and back also drive all over fl for car show with a 1" or 2" gap

 

this is how I ride daily

 

i wanna drop my car 1.5 inches for my DD. Im thinking Megan EZ coilovers will suit my needs.

 

If you only want to drop it 1.5 inches and you don't think you'll be adjusting it or anything, might just be better to get springs and save some $$ lol

 

i Daily drive an is300 thats 5 inches off the ground in SOCAL.

 

I wonder how much of it has to do with where you live? The roads up here in the Pacific Northwest are pretty crappy. I know the northeast is the same way from my experiences in Boston and Buffalo. Is it possible that the roads down south hold up longer and make it more realistic to drive a slammed car? I see almost zero cars lowered like lexusis305 or JZZ30TT's around here.

 

Yea i wanted to do that but i feel like my shocks will blow out early. So i looked to do a shock+spring combo but that price = coilovers lol. Even with the EZs i worry that the shocks wont last long... im nervous but im on a budget and dont wanna have to spend more money on the BC racing coilovers. Also raising it up for winter crossed my mind.

 

I daily drive mine slow and low here in Ma.

 

I dd my car on tein s springs, not bad at all

 

Pretty much common sense. If you drop the heck out of it, of course there's going to be some issues driving. If you have a mild drop, it's no problem as a DD.

 

I dd like 4.5 inches from the ground and barely scrape lol I need moar low

 

Just drive smart and you can easily daily drive slammed. Though my old commute had a spot where you were simply screwed if slammed so I couldnt slam it.
