Rick, I've had the MS Spring + shock before, they handle great for a spring and shock combo and were not overly aggressive for street driving.
When you drop, if you don't have a chance to roll your fenders at least max out your camber (temporarily) to reduce rubbing - its really easy to do yourself!
Here are pics of what your ride height will look like ->

Meh, another picture I had uploaded. It annoys me though because the angle doesn't emphasize how low the car is lol. Can't wait for my bumper fitment! So soon!!!!!
Edit: Dammit I make too many posts back to back. From here on out I'm cutting down on that ****, haha!

Thanks for the pics tilt, that's definitely more of a drop than I thought I would get... My car shouldn't look half bad then with how aggressive the wheels are. I will be increasing the camber a good bit, especially since it's not my DD so I'm not too worried about tire wear.

imput, do you have sways? Yah, all my pictures are from the front and back, lol
Rick, yah it'll look nice! Just remember to have the toe as close to zero as possible or your tires will only wear that much faster

So since the wheels come with a +48 offset from the factory, and I currently have 5mm spacers which set them at +43, I should be alright with +20mm or +25mm spacers?
The car is already low as it can get with springs(has sprint springs). If +25mm spacers are going to take alot of work then I may just hit 20mm spacers first, to see how it will fit. That should effectively give me a +28 with the 20mm spacers, or a +23 with the 25mm spacers.
If I hadn't just bought these tires, I'd be willing to go a hair shorter on them, but they still have less than 1K miles on them.

I kept telling people how much work it was to get my wheel setup to work without rubbing to hell and still be able to drive it hard while being lowered.
But I guess its more clear now to some. A few people who asked me about them and then bought them gave up and sold them so hopefully the new set of people with them put in the time to make them fit right. Rubbing is a no go.
I am running the stock -1 in the front and am at anywhere from 2.5-3 in the back depending on what I'm doing. Sits pretty tucked considering the side wall height 245/45s and 255/40s. With my 19X9.5s on the car its beyond tucked. Car sits at what I believe is the perfect height any lower and its usless and unbareable to drive.

17s with a +25 have issues fitting with a stretched 245-255 tire.
btw 20s belong on muscle cars, luxury sedans and suvs.. not import sport cars.
new paint, old wheels!
new wheels and brakes are on the way!
p.s. thanks silver8 for making the rear fog light for me!
could have put more spacers at the rear, but ran out of them!

A couple of questions for you.
1. What rear wing is that?
2. What front lip is that?
Your car looks effin badass.
As soon as I can unload my stock wheels I'll be ordering my new spacers. I'm going +20mm in front and +25mm in rear. That should give me an effective offset of +28 in front and +23 in rear.
With the Sprint springs, it should give it a nice stance till I can either get a set of Stance or HKS coilovers.
it is the Lexus Glacier Frost Mica

stance coilovers are not bad, let me know if you want to get it.
