Default My IS250awd birthday - MRR HR2's (56K die)

It has been two years since i have taken her home, over the time i have learned a lot from CL. since it was her birthday and now has 41K on her i decided to get a few new toys. Thanks to the guys a B2autosports i picked up a set of MRR HR2's machined face silver, 19x8.5 +35 on 235/35/19's and 19x9.5 +39 on 275/30/19 General exclaim UHP's. minor rub upfront but it's almost has gone away

Few weeks prior i purchased the F-sport springs and Sway bar. the springs have been in for a month and i love them, however i want the front to be lower but i do daily drive it and with the stock 17's it sits pretty low. i snow plowed the roads during the last snow storm . the sway i haven't been able to get it in yet but hopefully soon

Picked up Centric Blank Rotors and Hawk Ceramic pads, after two days and the brake dust i couldn't take it any longer plus the stock brakes were gone.

pics were taken last weekend outside my school. The car needs to be detailed badly which will be done once it gets a bit warmer out.

As for future mods, it needs to be tinted, HID fogs, and change out the interior dome lights. Maybe a year from now i'll have it on coils and an Ings+1 kit....onto the pics!

the pics do not do the rims justice, they are very shinny in the sun..
The Rims










pics where taken with an SD870IS. i need some more pics....Thank you!

Your car looks great. I really like the way it sits on those springs and excellent choice on the wheels

its a 95 Kawasaki ZX6 with 16K on the clock, bought end of last year for a great price. needs minor TLC work on it but as of right now it's all apart on the garage floor. probably going to paint the panels Matador Red once summer hits. in front of my bike is my dads FJ1200

I'm in Warwick, but RI so small I like your idea of a Southern NE meet so maybe Mass and Conn can take part! Maybe start a thread in Northeast??

Back on topic Still luv'n those wheels on that car!

Those look fantastic on your IS! I might have bought a set of those if they weren't so heavy... Congrats!

Those wheels look great. The extra 1" virtual drop looks more aggressive.
