Had To Do A Shoe Change on the ISF
Once I got a look at these in the Vossen catalog I simply couldn't say no.
Vossen CV7's in Matte Graphite
Front: 20x9
Back: 20x10.5
Decided to go with 285's in the back -
Next up I have a set of KW coilovers sitting in the living room waiting patiently to be put in their home. Problem I'm having now is finding someone around here that is dependable and does awesome work when it comes to fender rolling and suspension installation.
Anyone got anyone local to the NYC area (preferably on the NJ side) that could do work like this on a Saturday?

Yeah, definitely looking to do a drop. Once I get the KWs on and roll the fenders I am hoping to do a nice tuck in the back. Problem I'm having right now is sourcing a good place to do the work.

Thanks for the info Teo. I am definitely look into one of these places and see what can be done.
I love the new wheels but hate the fact that they are still sitting on stock suspension. Was never really a fan of that type of setup and here I went and did it. Haha!
I'll make sure to post some pics up after I've had the work done.

there is also this place in fort lee but I forgot the name. they did mike zhang's springs which is almost the same process as your coilover install so they have experience. I think he paid like 150. pm mikez for more info...not sure if he remembers it though since now he drives a lotus...

I think the place I used in Fort Lee is out of business. Local shop should only charge like 200 ish, unless you tell them its an ISF then you can expect more when they add on a nice car mark up.

You and me both!! I am tired of looking at the box sitting on my living room floor. Next weekend cannot come fast enough!
Thank you for the kind comments, Paul! I hoping it looks as I envision it in my head when she's all done.
Thanks Teo and MikeZ. As a matter of fact I am going down to JE Import down in Baltomore next weekend since I'll be down there anyway. They had done the install of my Sikky headers and their work was top notch.
I guess the biggest question that I am thinking about right now is how low to drop it. I was reading a thread on here that the recommended drop for street use is 13" from wheel center to fender in back and 13.5" in the front. Do you think that sounds about right?

Ask pr PM Teo, he has a lowered ISF so he will know best. Like Teo said... I only drive a IS AWD with F sport springs. And a Lotus lol
