        They all look like Jay's car. It would be weird to see them all in the same area at once.

        Sold it.

          Well, my main reasoning behind the sports was to have a little clearance...so i'm not constantly having to worry about getting in and out of places with an iS lip.

          ...as far as plates go, why not just go IE or RTRS and save a lot of cash.

            The cheap IE ones actually raise the car, not add travel. I don't know the specs on the RTRS ones, but I'd imagine them to be similar if they're less expensive.

              I don't know how the RTRS ones would raise the car...looking at them, but I could be wrong.

                They mount on top of the stock upper strut mounts, therefore however thick they are, they raise the car.

                                Okay, I'll bite.

                                How do camber plates affect suspension travel?

                                I wanna hear this one.
