Low Offset

Online/Digital
Low Offset is comprised of a passionate team of mechanics and car enthusiasts. Our goal is to give you detailed technical advice, help with buying decisions when it comes to modifying your car, and entertain you when you get some downtime. Some of us are accredited mechanics that are more interested in how things work, and the science and engineering behind it all. Others are auto enthusiasts who love making cars go faster, corner better, brake harder, or simply look better. Our bias leans towards cars made by Japanese manufacturers. That’s because some of us grew up watching Best Motoring, Initial-D, and Option DVDs, but not all. For others, it’s purely down to practicality. Popular Japanese makes and models are popular for a reason—they’re very reliable and there’s a lot of aftermarket support. From general guides comparing aftermarket parts to detailed guides specific to your car’s make and model, Low Offset is here to help you make better choices when it comes to making your modifications.

Guide to the Best Lexus IS300 Turbo Kit

| Low Offset
Bolt-on gains on the IS300 have a low ceiling. If you want to get a substantial amount of power out of it, forced induction is the only way to do it. After all, it comes with the 2JZ, so it seems only fitting that the “baby Supra” should put down some serious power. Of course, like with any car, going from naturally aspirated to turbocharged is going to present its own set of challenges.

| Low Offset
Roof top tents are a go-to camping setup for many Tacoma owners. They give you the best of two worlds: extra space as a sleeping area on the cab or the bed rack while leaving the bed space free to sit your stuff. The minimum they all can do is to keep you off the ground, which is a brilliant privilege, not only for rooting out the troubles of sleeping on a muddy or unleveled surface but also for providing extra safety.
