I was getting bored of the look of my ride so I decided to drop the height more. Coilovers are setted to the lowest setting. Can't go any lower. We need more threads on slammed IS-F's

Happy New Year everyone.

 

looks nice, what kind of coilovers?

 

It said Teins in his sig.

 

tein cst's (maybe) from the sig. is there any rubbing? and did you keep the same size tires, or upsize? either way, it looks great

 

It's dropped on Tein CS coilovers with EDFC. Yes there is rubbing when making hard turns over bumpy surfaces. I upsized tires to 245/35 front and 275/30 rears.

I've had this coilover set up for over a year and never took shots of the EDFC. This is what I set it at # of clicks away from the stiffest. It's a rough ride but to reduce the rubbing it's a temporary fix before I decide to roll the fenders.

 

I'm surprised nobody has put airbags on this car. None that I've seen anyway. I know its sacrilege but I'd have expected it to happen by now.

 

Ya I'm surprised too. In the 2G IS Boards u see alot of slammed on airbags threads done to is250/350's and they look sick.

 

Dang, that is low for an F! Good thing you don't have a front lip of any sorts ;p Glad to hear you like the Teins with EDFC, I'm considering putting those or the KW's on my F next

 

niiiice setup! looks good that low

 

Dude, you slammed your car during winter in the lower mainland? Ballsy!

Lets meet up sometime in the Spring. I have not met another IS-F driver locally and I would like to hear how that Joe Z exhaust sounds!

 

nice drop... Looking very mean...

 

Thanks everyone.

I wanted the KWv3's cuz they are a lighter suspension and better dampening settings but I like the EDFC option from Tein as I don't wanna get out of the car and rip panels out just to adjust the stiffness.


Haha I'm use to driving slammed cars. My Audi was lower then this. Sure just shoot me a PM.

 

looks good, a set of spacers would compliment the drop nicely

 

Yes, it is sacrilege, especially with a car that has the sporting nature of the IS-F. ISF-88 has shown you can go pretty damned low without airbags. Hopefully, we never see a bagged F for the reasons noted.

 

I could not agree with you more. lowering slightly with coils or springs looks fine but droping it to the ground looks just plain stupid. I really don't understand why people seem to think that "slamming" a car is so cool looking. 1) it is a major decrease in performance 2) it probably rides like it looks, like it's on the axel.
