I lowered it as much as i could. Got the fronts sitting where i wanted but wasn't satisfied with the rear.

So i took one of the rear spring perches/collar lock ring thingy's out (They were maxed out to begin with so they don't really serve a purpose) and then this is the final product ;) No fender rolling needed, btw

Congratulations man! Your car looks really sharp!. How is the handling? Where you live get snow? I really like to make something similar to my car, but here in Canada with the snow, not sure...


Stock suspension handles good on snow days, but I wonder how this low handle the snow, that is the reason of my question. Aaanyway, again, your car looks great!

Thanks! As far as the handling, its definitely stiffer but thats pretty much a given when lowering a car, but other than that it handles like a dream! Its firm but not overkill. I live in Kentucky so we get some snow, but i don't think its nearly as bad as it is up there. You should be just fine as long as you raise the height up a bit whenever it snows.

Had a slammed IS300 this past winter and didnt raise it up, got stuck literally everywhere haha

From that nasty blizzard we had. I made it home from Toyota fine, until I got to the parking lot at the apartment (Nathan/Ashely's old one). And then I got stuck in the driveway. Had to dig all the way around to park (took about 2 hours). Then the next day, used the car to finish plowing. :D
