Thumbs up Requesting: Pics of IS x50 droped on F-sport springs!

Hi, IS 350 AWD, I want to drop the ride with f-sport suspension. I am requesting pics of IS x50 dropped on F-sport springs to get a sense on how 19" wheels will look with the 1" drop. Please post Pics you will be doing me a huge favour and help me make a more informed decision as too whether to get 18"or 19" wheels..

Plus I really like looking at pics of this car!

Taken at the dealer right after the springs and shocks installed. I'm sure it has broken in and is a little lower by now.

If you do 19" wheels, the car really needs a drop. And a 1" F-Sport (or Eibach 350 springs which are the same) makes a big difference compared to stock springs. Attached are MRR GT1 19's w/Eibach 350's.

The reason why regarding the 19's (visually) with stock springs the wheel gap ends up looking larger than the sidewall height, so the look is almost lifted. AWD stock will be more noticeable.

I didn't think a 1" drop would even look different, but it definitely does and it looks pretty good.

It makes a huge difference, especially with 19's. I left my car stock after installing 19's for a few weeks and really noticed the difference.

Default More pics welcome!

I am liking what I am seeing. Got a quote for install by dealer for under $800 thinking of getting it arranged for next week. Then it is figuring whether I want work wheel or weds...19s of course...
