I like the rims on the white and black IS. Are those 18" or 19"?

 

Thank you for the pix BboyM3 that white one is sick! They look like 19's. Would love the car to be sitting maybe a 1/2" lower and it would be perfect.

Leaning towards springs I don't want to lose my damper settings. Just not 100% sure on what brand of wheels yet.

 

Per Nate's email and the Five Axis website the fronts wheels are 19x8.5 and the rear wheels are 19x9.5.

BTW...they offer 18x8 wheels, but they do not offer 18x9 for a staggered setup.

 

Correct. I saw that white IS in person at the #itsyourmove event and spoke to Troy for awhile. It looked great!

 

Noob question but installing the coil overs would remove our f sport damper system correct? Also I come from the honda world and had Buddy Club N+ on my 07 coupe and the car bounced does that happen as well with the RS*R and all coils for that matter? If so I'll stick to springs as I'm leasing.

 

Yes, installing coilovers will disable the Drive Mode Select functions (F Sport damper system). However, installing springs with the stock dampers with not affect the Drive Mode Select functions. Someone else will have to chime in on the RS*Rs, since I do not have any experience with them.

 

I only have experience with APR sport springs and coilovers for my VW GTIs. The APR sport springs are designed to be used with the OEM dampers. The ride was, in my opinion, much better than stock. It was less harsh, provided better body control, and did not bounce. Quality springs and coilovers should never cause your vehicle to bounce. The springs should be matched to the dampers...it is a system. However, if you set your coilovers down to their lowest setting, some bounce may occur because you are limiting the motion of the system. Suspensions are designed to move. If you limit the range of movement too much, either by too stiff of a spring or by setting it too low, you may get some adverse effects such as bounce.
