how much did you drop the car because thats the same size wheels im getting which should be in in about 3 weeks and it looks sweet dropped, also do you sacrifice alot when you drop it, do you still have that LEXUS ride.??

That setup is really clean, even the one with the ISP's. I just recently got my 350 lowered by the folks at BB lexus this week. All I have to say is the service was top notch. Notes on ride: I really couldn't tell a difference with the ride quality being too stiff. Ride feels the same, with the exception of less "floating". Really feels tight, and on the freeway car feels a little more planted.

Exclamation OFFSET set-up

Can I get the offset you used on those rims?

Also what springs did you use to lower it and how much of a drop (FRONT and BACK)

ThankS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ChrisM910: the springs are the tanabe GS430 springs DF it is a more aggressive drop than the other springs out there right now. The drop is the same all around about 1.5-1.9. With the springs alone the ride quality was basically the same and the drop looked good even with the stock rims. But with the momo's and low profile tires the ride is stiffer and you can tell the difference, plus I am also paranoid about every little bump so I think I just notice it more.

ONEdirty23: Agreed the peeps at Bob Baker have the best customer service plus they know alot about the 2IS since their parts manager owns one.

t0e: the offset are 235/35 Front and 275/30 Rear. Bridgestones Potenzo
