Hey all,

I picked up a 2009 2.5L with leather and sunroof and have done a few little things to it since. I bought it mainly for commuting to and from work and to tow my brand new Yamaha Fx Sho.
So far its got Led parkers, 5000k philibs bulbs in high beams and fog lights, 5000k HID's in the low beams and very bright led reverse lights as I have no street lights at home and find it really hard reverse parking it (all my cars get this mod). I went down to my local tyre shop and decided to get some 19"s on it as my standard wheels were scratched up very bad. The wheels of choice are from a Lexus ISF and measure in at 19x8 with a +45 offset running 225/35/19 elastic bands. The tow bar is being fitted around 1pm today from a guy who comes out to you to do it. I don't know if I want to lower it or not so let me know what you think. If I lower it, I think I'm going to go pedders 35mm all round, I like how it sits now so 35mm lower all round will be pretty much exactly how I want it to sit. As far as mods go I think I'm about done, at the end of the day its only my daily. Also would I have to roll the guards if I lower it 35mm all round?

Cheers,
Gary

Nice.
I was running 235/35/19 with +45 (on 7.5" rims though that wouldn't matter much, especially with the wider tyres) offset and didn't require guard rolling with the tein s-tech springs.
I'm not sure how they compare to what you are planning to put in but I think people say they are around a 30mm drop or something (coming from billies).

After I got coilovers, with that setup I had to go pretty low before I needed to roll the guards.
Currently I have raised it up slightly and I wouldn't probably need the rolling (still probably lower than stock lib - 35mm).

If you do roll the guards I would definitely recommend going 235/35/19 net time.

Nice work mate . Looks tidy and wheels fit in nicely .
Like with every car it needs more low haha . But off to a good start

Yeh, not feeling the wheels.....

Yeh great start man and it definitely needs more low.

And I must say, I'm with crusin ..... Not feeling the wheels!!

I'll see how I go with the lowering, I'm kind of thinking to leave the height as I need to pull my ski around but I can always get a different tow neck that is a bit higher.
I wasn't a fan of the wheels either, it was more the Mrs decision and was a huge slap in the face from my Advan Rs wheels on my evo 9, but I must admit they are growing on me!

I think they would look much better when lower. Especially the front.
