Default 08 IS F suspension upgrade

Hi all, I'm new just picked up an 08 in starfire pearl. Would like to upgrade suspension to match the 11 model. Anyone have advice?

Link you refer to does not address actual upgrade of 08 to OEM spec. I'm not really interested in coil overs, as that thread discusses.

If you want to match or be similar to 2011 OEM spec, I have to think it's going to run in the thousands. Maybe 2-3K? Is it that worth it? Aren't we talking about completely redoing the entire rear suspension and swapping out all of the shocks/struts, springs, and sway bars? that's gonna cost mucho dinero. Maybe just new coilovers and tires is worth it...

New tires and coilovers will cost about 2 grand.

Won't be cost effective IMHO.

There are a few threads on this subject already, here is a couple of links :
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...2008-is-f.html
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...he-dealer.html

It would be more cost effective to get a set of KW coilovers and an F-Sport rear sway bar
