Default Finally got lowered (pics.)

Just wanted to share some pictures after a week with lower spring Tanabe NF210 on an IS250RWD. The spring are perfect for me because I don't have to worry too much about inner tires wear and ride comfort. I feel a little stiffer right after, but after a week its feel the same with stock springs. It sit a little lower then sport-suspension.

Driver side...

They claimed .7 all around and that what I got right now. I think it will get a little lower after a few month. Actually the front are lower about 1/4 of inch, but our car front tires look a lot tinner up front so it look like uneven drop.

Very subtle drop, thats exactly how i want mine to be. Just enough to get rid of the huge gap, no worries about rubbing, and best of all no worries about scraping or tearing off a lip

Looks Good! I agree with you 100%, nice little drop with no problems of tire wear or change of ride, I went with the F-Sports and its perfect.
