Thank you! Hoping to lower the front just a tad bit more to even it out with the rears. Also planning on buying some camber arms to adjust my alignment!

Busy week for the IS this upcoming week! Picked up a Magnaflow Axleback, Injen Short Ram and SPC camber arms this past week. Hopefully I'll get to install them sometime soon. Also planning on getting my height adjusted just a tad bit and finally get my long overdue alignment.

Got the install for the intake and exhaust done today! Snapped some pics right after:

The intake is Injen SP2092BLK made for the 2IS but it fits perfectly! The sound is great for a simple install. Throttle response improved a bit, but it might be just placebo.

The axleback adds a subtle deep tone that sounds great when you punch it. The exhaust is noticeable around 2-3k RPMs where you can hear it hum when crusing around.

Great looking car! I plan on doing many of the mods you have already done Chris!

Any rubbing with the 25/20mm spacers?

There is some rubbing on hard dips and and turns but nothing during regular driving. Depends on how low you go and how much camber you have also!
