Hello fellow CL members, few requested to make another thread where I mod my car, so here is is.

First off I shall introduce myself. I was born and raised on Oahu, Hawaii. And actually got my first car from my parents as a graduation gift on December 10, 2011. I recently joined the Lexus community. So as I experience this journey I hope I will learn more about modding and make wise decisions. Oh... by the way Im a MALE. Sorry for the misunderstanding in the previous thread.

Feel free to message me some tips.

Subbed! I think your next mod should be the F sport intake. Like the GFX kit.

Instead of springs you should consider coilovers. I've had tein s tech springs before getting coils and the drop was uneven because AWD has the c-bracket in the front which is the reason why the front sits higher than the rear but the ride was very close to stock. If you are on a budget Megan EZ coilovers is a good way to go, if not then I recommend BC coils. Almost all springs will give an AWD IS an uneven drop. Also with the soft spring rates of Megan EZ coilover set up the ride will be as close to stock as far as coils go.

KeleIS250

Okay, Thanks. I will give some thought into it. The thing is I don't know anything about coilovers. Still have to learn how to adjust it and such.

Its very easy once you get them, I myself always backed off coil overs for the same reason.

Justin2JZ

Lol its very simple

It all depends on how long you wanna sit down and turn Btw, even though the guy in the vid is doing BC coils, this applies to all coilovers.

KeleIS250

Oh wow, looks pretty easy to do. Is there a thread where I can learn the measurements? On how low to go so that I won't scrape or rub?
