Default Out with the Old, In with the New

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself. I started off with the Lexus family by purchasing my first car, a MSM IS300 (Sorry no photos). Modifications: JoeZ intake, Tein springs, Apexi exhaust

I then sold that to move into a montego blue BMW 335i coupe which has treated me well for the past 5 years.
Modifications: Koni Yellow struts, H&R Springs, Aero Lip, M3 sideskirts, and Linea Corse Lemans rims.

However, I've recently just sold that and I've come back to the Lexus family with my newest purchase of a 2011 SFP IS-F. Let's just say I'm pretty stoked to be back.
Future Modifications: JoeZ intake, JoeZ exhaust, much much more...

I've attached an image of both rides below. I look forward to getting involved in this great forum!

Congrats on the new ride. I'm curious on how the IS-F ride compares with the 335. BTW, your garage is spotless!

lol thanks.. regarding the garage... I keep it clean so that nothing will fall over and damage my babies (cars)

Stock, the 335 rides a bit softer than the IS-F with much more body roll. However, with the koni yellows setup in the middle setting and with the H&R springs, the 335 rode much harsher. Handling wise, the stock IS-F still beats the modified 335. Every corner just feels crisper in the IS-F.
