How much did it lower it in the front and back? Where did you get them from I've been looking for a good place to get them or order them?

Ditto, to his questions as well.
But to add upon that,
I'm about a week away from finally pulling the trigger on coilovers. Been saving for about a month and next week its time to pull the trigger. Just about every other day I flip flop between the CX racing coilovers and the Megan EZ streets. I'm wondering what was the deciding factor for getting the CX's and what spring rate did you go with and your opinion of them so far?

Oh and btw the car looks nice. I cant wait to get my coilovers and put them on.

I got mine on ebay from the cxracing company. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cxracing-97-05-LEXUS-IS300-Coilover-Suspension-Kit-/160626047345?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item25660ef971&vxp=mtr is where i got mine. And to answer the question on how low it dropped me. On my car currently im guessing 2-3 but i will be going lower as soon as i roll my fenders and there is plenty of room left on the coils from what i can see.
