wow! thanks all! some really tastefully done cars in this thread! i just picked up my IS350 yesterday and am already thinking about some mods!

i have a question, i see many of you running the H&R springs. are these the ones?

http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/s...7&autoModClar=

1.4 inches just seems like a lot (granted, i know literally nothing about this). my car will be my daily driver and i am not looking for a super aggressive stance. just a bit lower than stock. would these provide a more moderate stance?

thanks for your help!

This is the perfect drop on stock wheels, imo... I wonder if it has spacers? Hopefully, the owners chimes in and shares his configuration specs.

The ones in your first link are the H&R springs for the IS350. I saw those on Tire Rack but since it was on special order I ended up buying the springs from eBay.

The ones in your second link, Eibach, is a more conservative one since it's 1". F-Sport springs are also 1" too. If you don't want to go too low, Eibach and F-Sport will do it.

I chose H&R because I thought it was more noticeable that the car was lower than Eibach or F-Sport. I think H&R is still OK for daily driving though even though it sounds like 1.4" is a lot.

Well, I kind of like the stock 18's that are on my car (well, I'm picking it up tomorrow). So it got me thinking, does anyone just lower their car and leave the stock rims?

I'd love to see how it looks. (And yes, I've searched and came up with nothing).

Thanks guys!

95tsi, really really tastefully done!

how would you compare the Fsport springs to stock in terms of ride quality?
