Are you referring to the JIC's or the stock ride?

I'm freaking lovin' them, and thanks again for your help!

I went from 6->8 all the way around today, found the ride to be a little too harsh. Dialed it back to 7 for now. Seems better.

Still having the slight rubbing issue on the front left ONLY.. not sure what the deal is there.

Anyone have any recommendations on diagnosing the rubbing issues in an easy manner?

Jack up your car and look at the fender lining and look where it shows rubbing. Most likely its the same spot as us ISx50 guys. Its where the fender meets the bumper, but for now just get a heat gun and push back the fender lining. Stretch your tires a bit and slam that bish!!

Is it common for it to only happen on the front left, or do the other IS-ers get it on both sides?


Don't think im quite willing to stretch the tires

Thanks for the help!

If its rubbing on one side there's a slight chance that side is a bit lower IMO

we drive on the left thus leading to more weight on the drivers side... thats my theory of mainly rubbing on the left and im on springs!

That was kind of my (very un-scientific) opinion as well.. I'd like to think my < 200 lbs doesn't affect the car that much, but I guess it's possible. If I'm running with such a limited tolerance up front, though, then I definitely need to get both sides raised a bit ( )
