Could you let me know what the tire and rim specs are? I'm about to get Niche Targas, 19" with 225/35/19 and 255/30/19s in the back. Trying to make sure there are no rubbing issues.
Thank you.

some more pics of half downs with stock F Sport wheels. The drop is just perfect for those who are after subtlety. Get the general idea, some angles it looks lowered, in others it looks almost stock.

I pretty much had them on for a few days only, but during these few days, they have settled enough to contribute to my bottoming out problem. Axles, shocks, and vibration problems are non-existing. Due to the lacking information and aftermarket support for the AWD models, I eventually went with the RSR full coilovers to achieve my desired ride height. And I'm glad I did. The RSR Sports-i coilovers rides very nice. Not harsh at all... the increased spring rate and adjustable shocks allowed me to fine tune the suspensions to my liking. Daily driving is very close to stock in-terms of usability, comfort, and almost no added noise and vibrations. At highway speeds and corners, the car does feel more planted to the ground and added confidence in stability.

hope this helps.

if someone on half downs&19's can measure their ground clearance that's my main block to getting halfs. Awful driveway but can't stand the wheel gap

This is pretty much the exact look I want. Lowered just enough to even the gaps, making the f/r the same as well as symmetrical around the wheelwells. The Halfs tend to drop less in the front on the 350 F-sport AWD for whatever reason, but at some point one of us is going to have to give them a try...

Have you actually seen someone with the Half Downs on AWD to reference them dropping less in the front? I'm debating on being a guinea pig, but not if I end up with the same reverse rake look as the RSR downs.

Sorry should correct that, meant that the RSR Downs do not drop as much in the front on the AWD 350s as the RWDs, skewing the way it sits. The numbers from Tanabe are likewise, and they believe it's because the AWD has shorter range of movement shocks in the front. The Supers look fairly even but I don't want that much drop and no, I haven't seen an AWD 350 with Halfs anywhere. If so then it would certainly resolve the question. The Ark springs are likewise not AWD-certified but look perfect on the AWD 250 (see: YoungRider). Need someone who can do it themselves or doesn't mind spending on the labour to try it out. You are hereby knighted, good sir
