Trying to keep up with CL's big boys (pics)
Finally, it's spring, and the mod bug is stinging all of us! I was able to put my stuff on this week after storing everything for half a year.
New stuff: Tanabe SustecPro5 coilovers, F-Sport 19" wheels with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Positions (F: 235/35R19, R: 265/30R19)
The car is now at the ride height that I always wanted. Rear section worked out very well, especially with the 30-series rubber which makes the rim look bigger. For some reason, they look better than how dealers put Michelin 35-series tires. Anyways, I'm happy with the mods for now, and the only thing I still need to put on are nigel's LED mirror covers.

Thanks for the kind words, but I believe your car is the one to catch. You’re car is too sick!
Thanks Chris. What tires did you go with for the new mooncakes? Awesome choice btw.
Thanks!!
When the coils were first installed, the rear was actually too low, so I raised it an inch. I prefer the back raised a bit to give the rear a more beefy look. When lowered too much, to rear looks too compressed. The stance I went with is similar to juice14.
Yessir, I agree!! Love the fat rears!!
Yeah, I’m in TO. I plan to attend some local events this year, and to meet some of you. I’d love to get some IS’s together for a photoshoot like those NorCal guys! Keep me in the loop for upcoming meets. Thanks!
Thanks! I’m gonna try to keep it clean and simple (my excuse for having less mods, haha)
Thanks. So you mean they need to stick out more with spacers? I think it’s safe the way it is, nice and conservative. I’m afraid of rubbing.
Thanks dappy! I’ll try to make it for sure!
