In my opinion that drop is too low. When your tires disappears under the fender... Its too low bro.

instagram; hey, lets take a screen shot of the image instead of downloading it.
crappy pic quality too be honest

also agreed, it's too low.


2 of my friends texted me after raising their rides "man, the ride is so much better!"

This car is on air ride suspension. First 2016 ILX on air ride thats why its that low.
I like the color but the wheels look like reps and I think no 30k+ car should be on reps thats my opinion. But the mods include that I know of.

Airforce struts with Im assuming airlift or airforce management.
Wheels are some weird brand I never heard of..

Is it possible to be too shiny? Maybe it's just the 'gram picture, but that's so shiny and has so much going on in the reflections that I can't really make out details of the subject of the photo.

It looks nice and blue though.

Do you have a like to the IG of the owner? Or some clear pictures?

Noooo waaaaaay!! Its bagged so drop it perfect. Parks like this and raised up a bit for driving.

Even if you dislike the drop, there is no better theft deterrent (aside form a locked garage) than a car's frame on the ground so a jack cant fit underneath.

Just a filter I am sure. Probably high contrast filter.

Wheels are definitely some shitty reps. Site doesnt say if they are certified or not. All copied designs. And the kicker. "Removable rivets with locking nuts for easy customization."

To each their own but damn spending good money on suspension then cheaping the fuck out on wheels.

I didnt know any of the details. Sue me. Even Jorgee just assumed what the set up was. Give me two guesses and I would have said airlift. I was just posting a pic for people to talk about.

Jorgee has since provided the correct set up and supplied the wheel manufacturer. Thanks Jorgee!!

They have no other pics up besides the original from one of the previous shots. Less shiny though!
