Very Nice. The only other thing I would have done different is if you were only gonna drop it to this point, I would have just gone with a set up like the Eibach/Bilstein. Spend the rest of the money on other mods. That's just me though. Good job on the choice of mods so far.

Yeah it looks great, I think the size of the wheels is ok, its just the tires and spec thats weak so it looks too small. Bigger tires would be my next move, or maybe more aggressive wheels period. Those appear to be wheels for a different car (maybe a smaller car?)

Looks much better, what size are those wheels? It still could go a tad bit lower or perhaps a larger wheel.

Looks good, and I would say what everyone else already did. The drop was a huge improvement!

Bingo...Bought these wheels in the classified section from an IS owner. The tires were already mounted so I had no say in the tire choice. But they are Falken Azenis... Wheels are a bit small, 19 X 8.5 all the way around, but this is my daily driver and I need to have them rotated. I will go for a larger and wider tire the next time around.

Drop looks good...much better.

And I kind of like those rims. They're different. Just buy some spacers to push them out a little, and then drop the front a tad more (for that sloped-down effect), and you're done.

Looks good...just minor adjustments would make it REALLY good. I like the wheels.

Hmmmmmm....interesting. I've never thought about spacers. Will this effect the handling and/or wearing of my tires differently? I'm assuming I would get thicker spacers in the rear to give it a more staggered look? Any links or suggestions on this? I might do this right away. At least in the rear, my wheels arent even close to being flush with the fender.

I know you don't want to go lower because of the camber and toe out headaches that come with it. After these set of tires, maybe throw some fatter tires to give it the illusion you lowered it more.
