Yeah, you are right. I don't see GS that often in vancouver. But I do see lots of IS250 awd, maybe they have some opinions? But then not many moded is awd too i guess.

I guess I am gonna drive as is for now and when I have more time, I will look into getting those spacers or go back to stock.

^ I own a IS250 AWD lowered with 15mm spacers front and 25mm spacer rear on stock rims.. Vibration was horrible when i first lowered it.. However after couple months either I got use to it or the vibration did felt a lot less compared to the initial install. IMO spacers did not make much of a difference. Give it a couple more months and see how you feel.

Yeah, like I said before, I am just gonna wait and see drive as is for now.

Thanks for input. I thought Is awd people had lesser vibration problem when I was reading on IS section but I guess that's not the case.

By the way, how much those spacer cost you? including install?

I have H&R spacers for the rear and Ichiba for the front. They are all direct bolt on so installed it all myself. As for price, it varies based on the brand. You got to shop around but total around 200 something.. Don't really quite remember.

I have RWD too, but should not be a problem. No TC? oh so you turned it off? I guess that would change things.

I am going to get Blizzaks since it is the only one I can choose for 18".

yup, those are the only one available for our stock 18". I didn't intend to turn it off, but my stupid O2 sensors are acting weird on me since I threw in an aftermarket header, shutting off my TC and giving me an engine light , lol

Hey Muggy,

haha, that was probably me since I think we live in the same neighbourhood. I think I have seen some once in a while, I guess you were running OEM wheels for the winter season. Hope to see you around on the road or even meet you in person if we have a meet sometime later this year =)

Haha, yea i'm pretty sure we're in the same neighborhood too. Yup, running stockies, don't want the chrome plate to flake again like last time.. Are you using all season tires? I noticed you're running the same wheels as the summer ones.


BTW, spotted AK47 on Cooney and Ackroyd today. Did you mold your wald spoiler?
