Remember when Rico rolled up to your place with 20's and we thought he was dropped because he had such a small wheel gap!

^ yea but RIco has rims that where from a GS so the tires are not the right size. Those are the right tires for 19" rims not 20". Once he fixes that he will be okay but its going to be a tight fit for sure. Yet another leased IS that is going to have rolled fenders

Vik I agree get the rims on first and see how you like it. I like how Javy has the fatter tire up front as it makes the car look more balanced with the drop. The front on mine had "gap" due to the front tire but this is a good option and if you get minimal rub on that liner then I say go for it and the FSport may be good to stick with them. Plus with our roads here a little extra rubber can never hurt with those nice expensive rims you are getting

Just wondering ... what's your front tire size? Dosn't look like the stock size, and I love how you got the gap small and looking balanced.

Man... the perfect look on your car makes me want to get the H&R springs!!!

LoL, I always here people say "The front is not low enough"

Thats why you buy coils, so you can make it as low or high as you want

One thing I wanted to mention about the H&R springs:

When I measured the car before I took the springs off, it was perfectly level. In other words my front right height matched my front left, and the rears matched as well. I don't know if this was mere chance, and of course I can't guarantee that this will be the case with everyone's H&R's, but this was just one of the many aspects of the H&R's that I was very impressed with.
