To Steve IPL:

I recognize the shop! Elite Auto, shout out to Chris

I just got an IPL and loving her. Question, how is your suspension ride? I am thinking about lowering my G just to get rid of my gap...but don't want to compromise the ride. I lowered my 04 G35 and dreaded driving her sometimes..

That may be an IPL, except for the rear bumper. That is definitely NOT an IPL bumper. Did you swap it? If so, why?

IPL suspension is pretty great. A mild drop (Eibach or Swift) should keep most of your driving like stock. It will be stiffer during some driving, but that's the compromise most are willing to do for the aesthetics of lowering the car, especially the front. Best of luck...

The car has been in a rear accident so they did a replacement bumper. I knew that before purchasing the vehicle, but I am totally ok w/ that. She's not perfect, but perfect for me. Good looking out on responding about the suspension. I'll think about it.

It can handle 285 easy, just have the bracket trimmed and you're not low so you won't have to worry about adding too much camber to it...just an idea bossman.

All relative to offsets and size at 11 inch and +20 265 35 is pushing it.

Exactly...don't need that stretchy/stancey nonsense.
Need all the grip you can back there...265 won't cut it
For reference, this is my 255 on a 19x10...need moarrrrrr meet
