^ ^ I haven't had any rubbing problems with up to 4 people in the car so far. I have 265/30/19 tires though I think if you go any thicker then there could be a little bit.

Honestly, I switched from a lowered STi to a lowered IS350 so the difference in ride quality for me is incredibly better. I've had no problems except having to go REALLY SLOW on speed bumps. Other than that just avoiding pot holes on I-95. I just recently bought new front tires and one of them just got a bubble on it from a pot hole. But here is a pic:

I agree, I just bought the car like that. I do like the blacked out roof but I really hate the hood. While I have gotten a lot of compliments on it, it's way too much for my taste. Next things coming up are Joe-Z intake, wheels will be painted glossy black, vinyl on hood (and maybe roof as well) will be removed and badges and grill will be blacked out.

OP, I did some research on this forum when i bought my springs. Since you have an AWD car, you may want to consider F Sport over H&R. A few people had issue with the ride comfort on H&R on AWD cars, its alot more harsh than H&R on a RWD car.
I Had F Sport Springs on my AWD, dropped it pretty low, and the ride was still comfy.

thats funny because my old car was also a sti but it was blue. my is now is silver also with a black top similar to yours. coming from a sti for sure its gonna feel better but i just wanted to know if it still has the "lexus feel" to it after dropping it on h&r and if it improves the cornering. I have the h&r springs already just havent gotten time to install it.

Just completed H&R Install
First off it passed the Wifie test, second its firmer but not harsh at all. It takes corners a lot better. I am on OEM shocks with F-sport rear sway 19" Fsport wheels.....Very happy with my purchase...thanks Spec Ops Mo-Sports.
