Default Just lowered 07 IS 250 AWD

I just finished put a set of Hotchkis springs on my car. I think it looks great. The back took a little longer then the front. Rusty bolts in the bottom of the struts. One side I had to change the spring in place. I couldn't get it out. I'll post some better picture tomorrow.

you need MOAR LOW ! lol looks like you have around a finger gap all around still? You should think about saving up and getting coilovers I think our cars look a lot better with no finger gaps around

South central, where the cows roam free! Lol I just put some 18" rims and tires on and the crown on some of the roads is so high I scraped the front spoiler.

since you're AWD, make sure you are no more than 24inches from fender to ground to prevent damage to the cv boots

Looks good, they haven't settled in yet so shouldn't it get a little lower?

I installed my springs myself. I got a spring compressor from Napa. The only adjustment was a set of spacers that came with the springs for the front. I didn't use them.
