Yep. I know I prolly shoulda waited til the springs settled first, but....
You know, it's kinda odd....the front actually looks pretty low in person, it's just the wheel gap in the front that kinda throws it off. But yeah, car is noticeably lowered in the front

I just got this done an hour ago from Exact Motorsports...
It is noticeably lower and it is much better in turns... I think i need a body kit to make it have a more aggressive look

I think that front wheel gap being bigger than the rear gap is designed in there for a reason. If certain springs adjust for that and make them all the same that might affect roll center or something else in the handling dynamics that'll make your car corner worse than stock. who knows...

first of all your car looks really clean. nice wash job on it.
second, am I the only one that thinks the back almost look too low and the front looks too high? the front looks like it should come down another .5" (and i am not one of those VIP dudes that likes their stuff slammed). the back looks low (like you have cement bags in your trunk). Of course I am basing this all on the eibach drop which I think is perfect for the IS. However, opinions are like 123%R#@$^ so it does n't matter. glad you like it.

Looks pretty clean and sleak Nick! It would've been nice to have seen it in person. I couldn't see it online at work because the images were blocked, but I'm able to see it now at home. ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
It's funny because our parts manager went to ask your service advisor, and she sent him to ask me where you bought the f-sport parts from. I told him you bought it online at sewell-parts, therefore he now wants to price the parts competitively with the market because the parts are now available at our service center.

I think that is because you are taking the pics of the gaps at eye level. When you are standing there looking at the car you are looking down at it which gives a less of a gap appearance. I have Eibach's and I took the same pics at eye level and it looked like more of a gap then in person. It looks good. Don't go around freaking out thinking should I have done this instead.

For what it's worth I had the springs installed on an 2008 IS350 and I measured the "before" and "after" height. It was exactly 1" at both the front and rear when measured at the fender just above the wheel and at the body just before the front door and behind the rear door.
