Default Pics of lowered is on stock 17" rims?

Does anyone have pictures of their lowered IS on the stock 17 inch wheels? Also tell me what springs you are using, thanks.

that is an AWD...they are using the same springs as me..the tanabe nf210s..i really like the nf210s..they feel the same as stock and there is much less body roll when turning...and they look great...just in case you are considering 19s here is a pic of my car

yea, they look really good, I just couldn't decide between the nf's or the df's but after seein those pics the df's seem like they'd be far too low. And lookin at how much money I have now I don't think wheels are in the near future .

Also did you install your's yourself and how hard was it?

Tungsten (sp.), I go back to school next week tho, so the amount of time I can work gets crushed. I'm pretty shure im going to spend some money this week tho, with the springs, possibly a rear lip, and fujita intake.

Will do, I doubt I'll spend the money on the intake because the performance gain/$$$ ratio doesn't look to be in my favor. Also, any idea on how long tanabe takes to ship out their springs?
