Default Lowered iQ's

It was suggested in another thread that one pertaining to lowered iQ's would be interesting. Here it is.

I currently am running Tanabe NF210 lowering springs. It reduced the wheel gap by 1/2 and the ride is just as smooth as the stock springs.

Here are the before and after pictures...

With stock springs, you can see how large the wheel gap is.



With the Tanabe NF210 springs.



I just dropped my iQ off at Air Runner in Anaheim and by the end of next week it will be riding on air suspension. I'll post pics of that when I get it back.

The ones I ordered weren't in when I went to pick up the iQ so they gave me a set off a Second Gen xB. They really didn't look too bad. I went back and picked up the five spoke covers that I ordered...

I don't believe they're availible in your region just yet. I believe on the east coast they're only as far north as North Carolina.

I've got two here in South Carolina...

Stopped by AirRunner today to check on the progress of the iQ. They will be finished with it by Saturday or Sunday. Here are a few pics of the work being done...

Installation of paddles and air lines.



The compressor and tank.



Osam and Shin Okamoto, the brains and muscle behind AirRunner.



I'll post up more pics when it's done.

That's the JONSIBAL iQ. It took first place at the Scion iQ build off at SEMA.





It's an amazing iQ!

So right around the same time we did then.

I must have been misinformed. My bad!
