Thanks! Others who have had the 2011 IS have put the F-Sport front lip pieces on their non-F-Sport bumper. Here is one thread about it: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...sport-lip.html. There was another thread somewhere about aftermarket front lips for the 2011-2012 IS but not a ton of choices yet.

Car looks great man. After seeing your pics and other members pics, my next purchase will be the H&R springs. It def makes the car look a lot better.

Drop looks good. About how much does it cost to get these installed by a shop and how long does the labor take? Roundabout price?

1) hows the ride? my own 2011 is dropped on Road Magnet and I HATE the ride.
2) are those 18's or 17's?
^^^The ride will be diff on AWD vs RWD due to diff suspension components..springs will drop the car for both AWD & RWD, but the ride quality will be worse on the AWD..if you're looking for a better ride quality, then coilovers for AWD is your best bet..

Thanks man!!!
It takes about 2-3 hours - My friend did mines for me - I'm assuming a normal shop will charge anywhere from $300 to $500 to install. Plus additional for a wheel allignment.


Some updated pics from my phone today attached =)

got em too, and love them, just wish the back wasnt as high...kinda give the car a drop dipped front end look. And trust me, you will need an alignment, especially for the front tires.

Hey guys quick question. I have a 2" drop w/ H&R springs. I bought the car with 19" MRR w/ 255/35/19 tires. I just bought some 18" w/ 245/45/18 Winter tires. I had no rubbing problems with the 19's but I was wondering if you guys knew if the 245/45/18 tires on the 18" wheels would have rubbing problems anybody run in to that?

How can you have a 2" drop on h&rs? They only drop 1.3 front 1.4 rear.

Looks pretty subtle for those who dont like it slammed. I like it, looks clean.
