Nah, would be less than 2 finger gap height wise. Just looks that way from the angle combined with 15mm spacers. 20mm spacers look more flush, but you get rubbing problems in the front. I've got 245/275 tyres though that really square up the sidewalls though. I'm very happy with the Swift springs. Very nice drop that looks even all round. It feels just a tad firmer than stock, hard to tell. Perfect drop IMO, still legal and practical with plenty of room underneath the car. I love the set up, I'd only personally get coilovers if I had the harsh 2008-2009 IS-F.

I thought I'd update this thread. Here is my IS-F lowered on Swift springs, and with the 15mm H&R spacers. Loving it! I've got 245/275 sized Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, no rubbing or guard mods needed.

Look to Japan and see what they are achieving with their IS-F's! The likes of Icode are up to what, 350rwkw now? As for Australian market, just have to wait for that rumoured LF-LC twin turbo lol!

It's only 5-6 years old so if it's been maintained you shouldn't have anything to worry about. These cars are just about bulletproof. Servicing costs vary from dealership to dealership. Call your local dealership and ask them mate, better to find out first hand for yourself. ;)

Got bored and went for a christmas cruise....

Michelin Pilot Supersports in 245/35R19 size are $350 each at Tempe Tyres!

Congrats Mark! You'll totally love the IS-F mate, so nice to drive! :) Nice and sedate when driving normal, and a beast when you give it some stick! I can't get my wife out of mine, she won't even drive our Honda anymore now lol! :p

Nice one Marcus! I installed my AFE dry panel filter yesterday, but I'm still waiting on my HPS intake tube which should get here today hopefully. Love the placebo effect from changing filters haha! My butt dyno says it's got a bit better response lol! :)

This is Linea Corse 19x10+38 square set up that a few guys in USA are running. This car has 245/35R19 front and 255/35R19 rear tyres. These wheels are 32mm front and 29 rear poking out extra over stock. Not sure what issues these guys have either. Looks mean though! :)

To be honest, I think you will struggle with that offset. It's a whopping 42mm front, and 39mm rear poking out from stock! 15mm-20mm looks pretty flush from what I can tell, you got 20mm spacers already don't you? I've thought about going to a square set up, would be nice for extra front grip, and for the ability to rotate tyres around.

No worries man. I just ordered 2 sets of H&R DRS 15mm spacers with extended studs from USA. They were US$100 a set. Got me a HPS silicone intake tube as well! :)

thats pretty cheap Yeah, I have been on to them about stocking these discs for us. It's a big saving over getting them shipped from USA. :)

Are those Dixcel prices for each rotor or a pair? The price seems nice and cheap, as well as cheap shipping!

Just change them yourself. It's a quick and easy job.

Where did you end up getting your spacers? Locally or eBay? I'm waiting for my Swift springs to turn up at the moment, and was going to go 15mm spacers with extended studs.
