Default Got Some New Rollers(NEW PICS)

Well after about 2 months of having my coupe I guess you can i say i did my first mod, I got some 07 IS stocks what cha guys think ????




I know I know i need to work on the drop so for the big Lex Meet coming up i think i am just going to cut two coils off the front springs just to get that slightly lower stance up front. I need to get some funds saved up to get the Tein CS with edfc.



Lovin my Lexus air freshener... Haaaaa smells like.....well... well it dosent really smell anymore but I still dig it

dont cut springs. thats ghetto and the amount of time and effort you put into doing that you can just buy some lowering springs.

the car looks good though.

Thanks for the comment guys i also really hate the idea of cutting the springs but i hate the "boat" look even more. The Tein wont be in for a few months and I dont plan on slamming the crap out of it I just plan on cutting a coil or two just to get a slightly lower stance than now. I work at the dealer and i can use a bay for as long as I want so I can get it just right. mabey next weekend before the meet i'll have it done hope to see most of you guys out there

I have those wheels too and I'm still waiting to lower it the correct way. It's hard to wait but you'll get used to it. Looks good!

Pretty nice. If it was just for a short time period I would cut also. You know the Teins are coming in and you have a way of doing it so what the heck? Go crazy!

Not too shabby, I have some IS wheels too and they definately look better with it lowered. Too bad the rear offset is poo, but for some inexpensive stockish wheels they work fine.

I have IS wheels also. Are those the 17s or 18s. Your car looks like mine and I need the same drop but gonna wait till I can grab some coilovers. Like said above the back especially needs a little spacer but they look great otherwise.
