Just to clarify this statement. Fenders still need to be rolled. Unless you go with a mild set up.

I do not have any warning lights on my dash at all.

I'm impressed that since coils essentially neuter what S+ does (transmission, steering wheel, suspension dampening) that there are no sensors that give off a warning

As long as the plugs are plugged in, there shouldn't be any warnings...

The the top covers of the AVS (on all 4 corners) should still be bolted into place I would think.. They just wont be adjusting anything...

Maybe the OP can pop the hood and show us the tops of the shock towers

Default horrible

I am sorry to tell you, but in my eyes this looks horrible. You are raping a very nice luxery sedan in to a clowns car.

Here in western Europe it is not done, to lower your car that much, not because it is not aloud, but because it looks ill-favoured and you're not better off driving or go harder with it. Here this is only done by 18 year olds that just have their licenses and drive a VW Golf of 2003.

The new IS must have 18`` rims or at most 19`` and if lowered at most 1`` with 7mm spacers.

Why so overdone?

Keep it modest and it looks much better.

Sorry for the comment, but I do not like this exorbitant tuning.

IMHO he is at the limit of what I would lower my car at. Doesn't have his tires at a horrible angle making it look like a drift car and it's not slammed so far to cover the top part of the rim. For me I might raise it 1/4 or 1/2 inch. But this is his car and he is happy with it. Also doesn't have the stretched tire look to fit on wheels that are too wide for the tire.

To each their own.

Don't be sorry for the comment to each his own, love it or hate! I'm about this low life I've been about it for years!
