His car is definitely lower than any other ISx I have seen, on COILS / Springs.

I don't think he can turn the wheel to is maximum rotation, or the fender would pop out.
I never caught his name.. when you talk to him again, ask him if he was the one that got a little stuck on the way out of the Holiday Meet...

He was very lucky we stopped him from backing up and Javy un-hooked his bumper from the spikes!!!

If I remember right, I don't remember seeing the engine underbody panel there either... (weight saving!?)

I got 19s with +48 offset so my wheels are pretty tucked in

1. With ur setup Can u not turn the wheel fully like toes buddy??
2. Does it rub in the same place as the regular spring drop rub (back rear well of the fornt fender??
3. Any cure for rubbing other than rolling fenders (does "heatgun to the plastic" fix it?)?
4.I drive pretty fast but our roads are very smooth, will i have problems continuing to drive like an @$$? Like high speed cornering will my wheel touch the top fender?
5. Do you take speed bumps sideways?

ID love my car to look like that but im scared ill ruin the schit out of it

Not sure about after market wheels, I'm on stock wheels and i can turn my wheels fully and i have no rubbing issues because i took my front fender liner out and cut all the places that were rubbing. I don't have any problems after cutting my fender liner and some speed bumps i take side ways but i try 2 avoid them..
