32 year old female and my IS is lowered Will always lower all of my cars. Right now she sitting on a 1 3/4 in. drop and I've never had any probs with ride quality, bottoming out or rubbing. Right now she's on springs but looking to get coilovers soon. I want to be able to adjust the height.

31 in body but 21 at heart.

I've always loved the look of a tastefully lowered car. My last car (03 Accord Coupe) was lowered on Tein SS-P coilovers but it was only a 1.5" drop. I also had the OEM body kit so it looked a lot lower. Although the car/drop was beautiful, I decided to get the IS because I wanted something that looked sporty and aggressive stock due to my job. I'm a social worker and at times, my clients see what I drive. Imagine the look on their face when they see their social worker hop out of a slammed car. LOL.

I now have the perfect combo/drop: IS + sports pkg. The half inch drop isn't that noticeable to the novice eye but I get the best of both worlds: a subtle drop plus manufacture warranty from any future problems w/a lowered car.

I'm 26 and I'm going to lower my car in a few months. I'm doing it mainly for the look.
