Most Toyota/Lexus in general are lower on the driver side than the passenger side. We just dropped my friend's SC300 and he has maybe 1/4" or 1/2" more gap on the driver side. There are quite a few 2IS owners with the same problem too.

Not sure why Toyota/Lexus can't give us a nice wheel gap all around..

Looks clean bro!
so you said the springs dropped it 1 inch all the way around?
I was looking into some eibach springs because my car is sitting exactly how yours was but i wasnt sure if it was going to give me the drop i wanted so i was had my mind set on some megan coils, but after seeing these pics of your car i think i might just get the eibach springs and save my self some money and still get the slight drop im looking for.

Looks great now! It's crazy how such a subtle drop can make a significant difference in appearance.

Did you go with anything else on top of the springs to drop it?
