Hey guys just got a set of 19 inch (8J) antera type 309's, my car is a older sport (no 15mm drop) and really wanted to lower it, as you can see by the piccy the back end looks like its on stilts! the front of the car seems okay and i just wondered it i could just lower it by springs. I have read previous threads on lowering and have come to the conclusion that i can only lower back by 25mm, and the back on the same. I wanted more of a drop but dont want to chnage whole suspension yet (no money). What can i do!

would 30mm drop just on springs catch (i assume not) just asking cos the standard shocks on our cars seem soft. Also could i drop more than 30mm without catching or rubbing?

p.s I have added more pics of car to the is200/300 gallery for better views...

I run 19x8 rims with 235/35 tyres (I don't know the offset), with the eibach springs and Bilstein coilovers, there is no prob for the rear but the front rubs on fenders (wings) on hard cornering or bumps when someone is in the front passenger seat.

it's a bit heavier at slow speed but it doesn't bother me much, I had 18" wheels with no steering assistance on my previous car :shifty: . So 19 on the IS is not so heavy for me

I now know lowering with eibachs (30mm) would be okay without changing shocks, but can i go lower at 40mm without springs?

If not, is there anything i can do so i dont need to change shocks and lower 40mm?
