Hello matey, the best thing to do would be to get in touch with Tony at Wheels-inmotion as he's the best chap to speak to about setting up the geometry on the IS200, He set mine up after it was lowered on coilovers and i couldnt believe the difference biggrin.gif

Here's his website WIM Website and he's a member on here too biggrin.gif

Hi Coolride,

I have the Tein super streets with top mounts, think mine has been lowered about 35+ mm on 18's and mine was very close to the limit on the camber. If i went any lower than the camber is not retrievable and i would of had to fork out on adjustable arms etc etc.

It can go very low, just all depends on roads! cry.gif Even though mine is only lowered 35ish mm i still bottom out over several roads, bumps etc. plus i have cusco under chassis braces on the way so will be even lower, and front will catch on everything when i have the new lower front fitted shifty.gif

as azted has said, speak to the master himself whistling.gif

just had a thought, read a post there saying 1999 cars sit higher at back, does this mean i can lower it more as it is already sitting higher without running out of camber adjustment??
