Hi Everyone,

This is my first post as the proud new owner of a '07 IS250 here in Phoenix, AZ. I have been building modified vehicles for about 15 years, but on more of a show level rather than performance. I am planning to using the IS as a show car with hydraulic suspension. I know that many of you aren't into my style vehicles; however I appreciate all styles and aspects of both these cars and this community.

Nice to meet all of you and I'm sure I'll be requesting info/chiming in further.

My bone stock IS:


My inspiration (built by Skipper Hydraulics in Japan).

I'm actually not doing air, I'm doing hydraulic suspension with nitrogen charged accumulators for a comfortable ride. It's not the messy lowrider hopper stuff you're used to seeing the technology has greatly improved. It has great advantages over running air and it's become very popular in Japan.
Here is a pic of my old setup on a prelude:

Welcome to CL. What made you choose the IS as your next show car? (You made a good choice BTW!)
