Default New to the forum!

Just introducing myself. But I got a 07 is350 paid off and now its time to play with it a little. First thing I want to do is suspension. Thinking about going with BC w/ Swift springs, heard good things about that set up. This is my DD, probably won't track it at all, but would like to get aggressive on corners when I feel like it. But anyways. I'm new, so what vendors on here have great pricing on parts?

thanks

How long have you had the Tein CS (miles you put on them)? I was looking at those as well. Do you know of any vendors on this forum?

Fsport front and rear sways, I went with BC BR coilovers from Circuit motor sport a CL vendor. 12K front 10K rear. Get some wider rims and some good tires. Lots of info in the suspension section.
Good luck and have fun. If you are handy you can do this all your self and save a lot of money.

I am actually talking to Circuit Motor in PMs right now. Looking to order the BC coilovers with the Swift Springs. just deciding on the spring rate. I am pretty handy I guess, all I need is instructions and I'm good. But thanks for the response guys. Looking forward to posting pictures up for you guys to see in the near future.

id say F*** the coil overs, save for air, air is way cleaner from what i see everyday, 2 of my coworkers got lexus's one has coil overs, the other has air, and its like coil overs are a waste of time, i'd save for air looks way cleaners and ****s on coil overs, but we do all have our own opinions..
