^^ I have to admit JICs ride VERY WELL for how low these get and im sure rickey and vouch for that aswell.
Ok today I OFFICIALLY bottomed out my car. I felt sick to my stomach hahaha. It was dark and unexpected and I drive SLOW like 10mph under the speed limit lol. I let my friend move my car last night and he was shocked that nothing was rubbing at all. I can do a full uturn without any problems. I know i have SOME room to play with im thinking about 1/2-3/4in (il give it room to settle) all they way around would be okay for the meantime without wheels. Then hopefully when i get some skinner tires it will be where i want.
"if sparks don't fly..... you're too HIGH" i have yet see any sparks come out just yet hahahaha

Now the lack of an apostrophe in "don't" is bothering me. Just half kidding. 
The only reason why that IS can drive around is because he's on stock wheels. If you have low offset wheels you can mess up your fenders pretty bad if you're not careful at that height.

yeah, just like chris said....
the IS is rolling on a set of stock wheels.... which is a 17x7 and has a +50mm offset, so they sit more inside the wheel well... thats why he can drive like that... with after market wheels, i'm sure you're going to go with a more aggressive offset and also wider... so there for you wouldn't be able to turn at that height...maybe with stock wheels and smaller tires then you can....

Bump stops
I figured I'd post this question here since most of you guys on this thread are prolly riding on bumpstops more than the coils.
Anyone use these FOAM bumpstops?

They say foam and soft.
Im on bags and when i'm really low im on bumpstops. OEM SC bumpstops are stiff as all hell.
I know these are for a truck but a bumpstop is a bumpstop pretty much. It's just the fact that its made of foam that caught my intrest.
