Very nice update to the car. I think a one inch drop is fine, and yes I have been to philly, and I know what the roads are like, so that is the most pratical.

On the wheels, just become a wheel collector, IS300 wheels( stock and aftermarket) fit many diffirent types of cars- SC, GS, Supra, 240sx se, etc..

Yeah it wasn't even really a shoot, was just trying to show my new rims to my one friend online, it took me less than 10 minutes to get the shot then I packed up and went home..

The guy that I got the wheels from now has a s2000, he was just selling the wheels cheap because they were taking up too much room in his apartment & collecting dust. Seems like everyone I talk to that had a IS300 now has a S2000 for some reason, this is the 3rd person I have talked to in the past month with the same thing..... jeez, I hope I don't want a S2000 in the future, they are too small for me!!!

You can get an S2000 as a weekend car. Then you will have both!

Yeah I think inch drop will be good for now, I'm not brave like batman. But I really think I need coilovers because I have 17" - 18" and 19" rims and would like to adjust height according to what wheels I'm wearing. The same drop on a 17" wheel will not be good for the 19" wheels and the same for the opposite.

Thanks for the nice words, and yeah I know what you're saying... Great minds think alike!!! I have a couple really really really really hot girls in mind for a shoot with my car... Don't worry I won't let ya down!!!! =)

looks good Alex, you should change your signature to that pic. I like the side shot of your car more than the one in your signature. we should do a photoshoot with all the Philly peeps, I just realized I don't have any nice pics of my car.

I would suggest going with about an inch and a half to and inch and three quarter drop. This is a great drop on a first gen IS
