[QUOTE=DarthGS350;7099559]Hey all -

I just picked up a new IS350 F-Sport for the wife, and I am starting the modding process. That being said, since it is the wife's car, things need to be a bit more "mild" than what my taste is. I have done a bit of research, and I have come to a few conclusions for a few mods, but I need help with others.

Springs - Eibach Pro Kit
I decided to go this route because she is not used to driving a lowered car, so I wanted to go with something that had about a 1" drop all around.

----------------
Eibach Pro kit is great I have it installed w/ 1" drop on my prelude at 175k .... now it at 340k. The best perf part I've ever used ! The car's handling is awesome at high speed on freeway, corner and ramps !

Beautiful car, it just looks so nice right from the factory. Get the springs, intake and exhaust and I think you are good to go. Down the road when you get bored with the stock wheels replace them.

Other mods - window tint, roof spoiler, JDM visors and some LED lighting are all popular choices.

A heads up to the CL guys, I am parting out this car. I have the 18" IS350 F-Sport wheels and tires for sale ($1,500 only 500 miles on them) and I have the AEM Cold Intake ($150, basically new, only 300 miles on it), and Eibach Springs ($200, only 300 miles on them). I am located in SoCal OC.

Thanks!
