Default Installed Half Downs and Spacers

Finally got around to installing Half Downs and 25/20mm spacers. Took about 3 hours total. I wasn't sure if I need to trim the bum stops but went ahead and trimmed them down Overall very happy with the drop since this is my wife's car I didn't want to go any lower. The spacers really set off the car!

Do need a caster camber kit for alignment with Half Down Drop?

Lol my bump stops were destroyed even on stock suspension.

But half downs looks good, very subtle. Do you happen to have measurements or close up pics of the wheel/fender wells? Might be helpful for those that are looking for a mild drop.

Ideal stance on F Sport wheels in my opinion. I don't want to alter anything, so I might have to stick with 15mm/20mm.

Which brand spacers did you guys wind up going with? Love the look of this drop and the spacers; think I will be going this route as well.

Here’s my 2014 is350 awd on rsr downs and 20mm spacers. The spacers are the best thing I did to the car in terms of looks. I hated how sunk in the wheels were.

I forget the brand but they were cheap and they are hub centric. I got them to hold me over until I get wheels.

Beautiful car man. One of the cleanest drops I have seen on here. I like the subtle drop with the filled wheel wells over being ultra-slammed. Well done!
