tISk250

Hey all, I've been on the forums for a while admiring all of your IS's and coming this spring break I plan on purchasing aftermarket parts. I drive a 2008 IS 250 AWD.
I know everyone says start with a drop which I plan on doing but i have a quick question. I've seen all the different drops that each company offers and I don't plan on purchasing coilovers but when the car's dropped how is the ride stiffer?
I also want to purchase an air intake and I've seen different threads about saying go JoeZ or F Sport. Which one do you think is better? Thanks and hopefully by the Spring, I'll be to post some pictures up of my car.

I have tein s-tech springs in my car and don't really notice the ride being stiffer, but for sure when cornering and other maneuvers I feel more control and the ride is more stable. Happy modding, I must say it is very addicting =P

+ 1 on tein s-techs

i used to own a set before my coilover swtich... they ride great and give the nicest drop avail for the isx50 spring wise and after those i woulda go with HnR

lowering springs usually advertise to be 20 to 30% stiffer than stock

quick question (sorry for posting on anothers thread)

which springs do you guys think will maintain the most comfort (tein, eibach, fsport, etc)
im also looking to drop but at the same time i want to maintain as much comfort in the ride aspossible

All 3 are Good. Eibach / F-sport are pretty much the same thing 1" drop front / Rear. If ur car is new and u get f sport installed at dealer ~ 650 with parts installation and alignment here you get to keep your warranty. IMO Tien offers the best drop, but im not sure how the ride quality is.

I had Tein S-techs put on my Corolla 03... it dropped it down about 2+"s and the car would rub when loaded with ppl... and also the Ride is horrible.. as in you feel all the bumps... and when you hit a pothole/bump... u really feel it hard. I have stock shocks though.

NOw my question is, if went S Techs for my IS250AWD... I'm guessing I can expect to feel all bumps on the road or are the STechs for the lexus a bit more forgiving?
