Why does Lexus make the IS-F look like it has almost no wheel gap on their website when in actuality there is quite a bit?



Anyway are there any springs out to achieve this stance?

Every carmaker does it. They do it with concepts and show cars too. Though Lexus is a worse offender since some Germans like BMW have a stock fit that is nearly PERFECT.

Its done b/c well, it looks much better!

The 1st ISF pre production sat really low in the front but it was a hand built prototype so it was bound to have changes. Production models sit a little higher for clearance purposes.

I think the first picture in this thread it's a bit too low in the front. Bring it up 1/4 inch and leave the rear alone and it would be perfect. I'm sure Eibach will be releasing some springs for the IS-F in the very near future. Anyone give them a call?
