Hey guys just got my coil overs in. THese are the first set that Pro Trac has sent out for the IS 300. I really have to get them on soon but leave for Canada tommorrow so I guess it will have to be monday. Pro trac makes some high end products. We run them on our Team Lexus IS 300's. Well thats how I got them so quick. Any one can now get them.. I have alot of information on them just ask.

I not familiar with Protrac, how do they compare to the likes of Tanabe and others. I'm looking to get a set, but just can't decide right now. How much do they run and where can I get them from?

Well I can tell you this protrac usually deals with only true race equipment for true race cars. THis is the first time they are making a street set for the lexus or any car for that matter. They are doing this since they are one of Team Lexus sponsors. these are true coil overs and feel great. You can get them THru Myself or Team Lexus. Of course we can always get you in touch with Pro Trac themselfs but they are in the netherlands. The complete set is a estimated price of $2000.00 I am not totally sure on that though. Take a look at thier site www.protracshocks.com

DOPE didn't see that good eye...:eek:
They mount in directly thru the existing mounts on the car. THere is a adustment on the top for ride sensitivity. And then of course on the bottom for your ride height you can also add the second stage to it and have the ability to adjust everything remotely. I was thinking about putting the remote adjusting exuipment in my glove box or something.

Blown,

It gets up there in price I think they were talking about $4,000 with the remote adjusters. You can always give them a call. The person you want to speek with is Rob. the number is on their web page. Just tell him you spoke with Ryan about the new IS 300 set...

You can adjust the HEIGHT remotely with the optional stage 2 and 3 reservoir? how does that work? What is the maximum and minimum drop?

the remote only lets you adjust the sensitivity.. the drop is done by spring weight and the ring placement. Now you can go the air shock or air bag option that they don't do to remotely raise and lower your car.
