Lightbulb The Official CL 2IS Showoff your suspension thread

If I may, I would like to have one collective thread where everyone can post pictures of their drop, any brand will suffice, just trying to make it easy for anyone thinking about dropping their cars to look at one thread. I will post my pics this weekend

It would be SO much better to just browse through the Aftermarket wheel sticky, and quote some of the best posts here.

Comparison: Stock = White, Eibach = Silver

Both are IS250s.

do you guys have rubbing issues up front when turning and in the rear when you have the car full of passengers? or maybe it's from my rear tires being 275..

Tein H-techs
On level ground, I think the front looks a tad lower and the rear a bit higher. I was parked on a fairly steep hill in these pics, and it may be throwing the stance off a bit.

I'm debating on the H-techs or a full on set of coilovers. It looks like it could use another .5" or so to get the gaps even.

I think the gap depends primarily on your tire sizes. When I replaced my OEM rears with 255/35-18s, the gap was perfect with my Eibach pro-kit.

Agreed. However, I'd like to keep my tire sizes as close to OEM (size, width, and stagger) as possible.
