Default KW V3 Coilovers on my 2011 ISF - SITTIN' RIGHT!!

I couldnt take the wheel gap anymore so i decided to do something about it.

The new coilovers are called KW V3.....

i will let the pictures do the talking.

For those that dont know, the car is 2011 Lexus ISF

Wheels are AZA 3 Piece, Rear Wheels 20x10 with 275/25/20 Nitto Invo Tire, Front 20x9 235/30/20 Nitto Invo

here is a few of how it used to look -

Looks great! Next time around put some wider rubber on. Those huge wheels could go 305 rear easily and at least 245 or 255 front. Love the brake caliper color and the KWs make for nice drop. I'm sure the ride is nice too.

I bet your car looks more sinister in person! You got taste, my man!
Also, how is the ride on those KW V3's?

no thanks i like the way it already sits. I had a 295 on these same rims and i didnt like it. Maybe on a 10.5" wheel but not a 10. Sidewall didnt look right all bubbled out. I didnt want a 245 up front because i knew how hard i was going to drop it. I can make a full u-turn with no scrape at all with the 235's....im not so sure with something wider, with THIS amount of drop. Anyway i like the way it sits as is, the only regret i have is not doing a 10.5" wheel in back, but its too late now these wheels are 1-offs. They are 3piece so i can try some different size "hoops" later, but right now im just enjoying them the way they are

Did you lower the KWs, or is that the height they came at?

The drop looks excellent, although now the wheels look tucked. Some spacers would improve the stance.

I didn't like the wheels at first but after the drop it does look a lot better than before. Great job! KW does some quality suspension.
