I'm assuming you're aware of the fact that your wheel/tire diameters are marginally different front to rear... by 0.25mm to be a bit more precise. Ok, so it's only about 1/100th of an inch, but given that you won't be able to rotate your tires, and your rears will most likely degrade at a faster rate than your fronts, you're going to end up with a greater disparity over time.
Not something I'd be keen on doing to a car with a center diff, but I'm sure you've already taken most of this into account.

Wow! That looks great! The NF210 is a nice drop. It's looks better than the aggressive drop I got with my DF210. After seeing your setup I may have to change my springs to the NF210. How is the ride quality?

I am using the NF210 for the is350 model instead 1 inch is ok with me
I think the drop is a bit much for michgian.
I will go staggered with wheels thought
any understeer or oversteer with the staggered fitment
I will do picture next week

Ok, correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the AWD about 1" higher than the RWD 2IS's? So by putting on the NF's you are actually dropping it about 2" and the spring rate 5% would be more than a normal RWD with the same NF's? Maybe I have not read something correctly!
