Default I don't get how people say that the Tein CS dont go low enough....

Today I got bored and decided to lower the fronts all the way down and lower the rear the same amount of turns (3.5) from where they were set. I have 235/35/19 tires up front and they are tucking the the edges of the tires. I can't possibly see how anyone would want to go lower than this. I mean any lower it would look stupid and ride like crap plus rub like crazy.
My Teins do though seem to be a little lower than what most have been able to achieve. I don't know the reason for this, but oh well. Heck the front left still can go lower because it has to have a little more preload on it to make the car sit level because the IS is heavier on the driver side. Not to mention the extra preload can compensate for my weight of 210lbs always being there and seldom anyone riding with me except for when my girlfriend and I go out.

Your and my definition of looking stupid is different from other people's. I'm not talking about anyone's IS in particular, but I have seen cars that were lowered so much it actually looked bad. Evidentially the owner wasn't of the same persuasion.
