I believe that lean applies to all 2IS?
the only way to eliminate that lean is to get coils....
please correct me if i am wrong

You're right, the IS lean applies to all stock 2IS.

I have a question...
So I have the S5F in +30 all around
lowered on Tein S-tech
im thinking of adding a spacer in the rear to make it more flush
is 5mm spacer going to be too much?

Thanks

Oops... forgot to add my wheels are 8.5

Midnight Purple II (LV4)
I thought the spokes would be too thin to show the colors
but it turned out pretty good

Compliments everywhere

its 19" 8.5 +30....
rubs everytime when i go over dips and sudden drops (only on my side tho, but if passenger occupied, that side will rub in the same situation too hahah)
its 25 inch fron top of the fender to ground, i consider it as a okay drop... not too aggressive

I was thinking into power coating mine to a more darker gray, but now I have curb rashes on three wheels thanks to the wife's awesome parking skills...
