Just recently put the ichiba v2s on my 06 coupe with 25 up front and 30 rear install was super easy...sits perfectly flush and i love how it looks...rolled my rear fenders and real excited to put the pro kit on it in a week or two...the 1/1.1 inch drop should be perfect...id say go with 25/30!

I'm running Ichiba Version 2 Spacers - 20mm F and 25mm R.

Tires: 245/35/19 Fronts and 245/40/19 Rears on OEM 19's.

Car is dropped 1.0" in the Front.
Camber: -1.03 Driver and -1.10 Passenger

Car is dropped 0.6" in the Rear.
Camber: -2.03 Driver and -1.89 Passenger

I have slight rubbing on the Rear Right when the car goes over dips or imperfections on the road that makes the suspension compress more than normal driving on a completely flat and smooth road.

I'm still a little confused why the Driver Side Rear visibly has more clearance than the Passenger Side Rear. Anyone else experience this?!?!

Hey OP, your set up looks great. If you ever wanted to go lower, you could always cut your spring mounts.

Anyways, here is my set up. I'm running 15mm front and 25mm rear. After looking at your set up, I should have ran 20mm in the front.

Just temporary for now, until my wheels come in sometime in June.

SPL front arms/rear camber arms. Have about 1/2" wheel gap on all 4 wheels, no rubbing, no rolled fenders. This is absolutely as low as you could go without any clearance issues or rolling the fenders. Off to Roger Krauss for minor adjustments and corner balance next week.
Nice set up!

What are your alignment specs?!

So I installed my spacers last week. (20/25mm) I torqued everything to 80lbs, but I think one of the studs is stripped because the lug continuously spins at around 50lbs. Has anyone experienced something like this with the Ichiba V2's?

I'm at stock height and I don't plan on dropping nor getting my fender rolled. I plan to get 245/35/19 F and 275/35/19 R. Is it possible to run 25mm in the back?

would 20/15 be fine or should i go with 15/10?

thanks!!

I ran that setup with 25mm all around and it looked great and no rubbing. You might be able to fit a 30 in the rear even without rolling. But when I bumped up the tire size a notch I ended up rubbing.
