Lowering?
Lowering?

steviewevie I don't know for sure Andy, but I got the car with 45K on it and I suspect they probably would have been the original ones, yes.
I think it was just the springs that were different between SE and Sport, mine is a Sport but as a 1999 one still rode like a 4x4 in height :lol:
I got mine @ 74k but don't know if they have been changed before then mines an SE so yours may of looked like a 4X4 but it's better than looking like a tractor:Fish: like mine cheers Steve.
40mm Lowering Springs, Re-sprayed Front, 6000K HID's, Re-furbed alloys, Bandit Induction Kit (cheers Chris), Raised boot spoiler with LED, Blue calipers with silver decals, De-badged rear, Chrome Oil Filler Cap (thanks to Chris again), White LED dash bulbs, Blue a/c control bulbs, Blue door markers and interior lights, Sony head unit, Chrome Lexus tax disc holder, TRD side skirts, Original Saloon Front Bumper re-fitted instead of Sportcross

yes now they are but if your running 17's the result will be the same(the wheels are the same size as standard ones inc the tyre) 215 40 18's will be the same hight as 215 45 17's.

IS200 Turbo project now just about complete ! See my thread here and leave your comments.
Now running standalone Syvecs ECU and no stock ECU !

12-10-2017, 06:59 PM #19Bigger wheels will help to make your car look a bit lower via an optical illusion (because the centre part of the wheel is bigger), but as Ormi says, if you're using the right tyres then the overall diameter of the wheel/tyre combo will be the same, so the arch will be pretty much the same height above the tyre.

Cheers Ormi, TRD side skirts should help create a bit of an illusion aswell making it apear lower, hopefully they'll be fitted next weekend, right think it's a goer then:biggrin: just need to convince Santa:laugh:
