Default more...

tails before


completed...they turned out really well..and it feels great to have done them myself this is up at my weekend house...so lexafer is FILTHY



i was thinking about changing my springs in the front..to drop it a bit more to make it more even with the back...but i got out of my car while i was up at my house today..and looked at how much room i have going up/down my driveway, and i dont think its a good idea to drop it anymore in fear of scraping..its pretty close right now if you look at the pics, and thats with no one in the car




anyway, enjoy the pics...look for more changes soon. i may change my wheels and go staggered..lol if anyone is interested in 4 zenetti fives with tires and a full spare (so 5 full wheel/tires) in 19x8, holla at me

Great pics. Car is already so low in the front so I wouldn't go further. What do you have on it now, the NF210's or DF210's?

I think Tanabe USA said they're coming out with new NF and DF springs just for the 2IS that will give you the same wheel gap all around. Forgot which thread that was, but it's in the 2IS section somewhere.

Nice job, Cathy!

Car looks low enough...how's the ride as it is? Not too bouncy?
