Well, he's right in saying that he can have his own opinion. He's also right in saying that "you can take it however you choose."
It is rather strange that someone who apparently vehemently hates mods is perusing an enthusiast forum. Oh well, like the old saying goes...don't feed the trolls.

Random question: Does changing the size of the rims, from 18" to 20" for example, require any reprogramming of the onboard computer? I was told once that things like the brakes and other onboard systems are programmed to the size of the wheels, and changing them can affect safety. Was this just BS?

Okay, here I go and say something that is going to make some people angry, but I can't help it, because I HATE THE LOOK OF THOSE RIDICULOUS OVER-SIZED WHEELS. They look ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! I can't help it. I hate the fact that other people who like the same car that I like obviously don't have any taste. I hate the fact that if I buy an IS, that I'll be driving the same car that you see other drivers in, with ridiculous gigantic rims and god-knows-what-else stuck on the thing anywhere you can find a place to put something. PEOPLE, STOP PUTTING ALL THIS RIDICULOUS JUNKY-LOOKING STUFF ON YOUR CARS! JUST LEAVE THEM THE WAY THEY WERE WHEN YOU BOUGHT THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There isn't much ride difference in the 19" and 20" wheel. All depends on what you want.

Price wouldnt be the major issue but I'm a newbie when it comes to lowering, springs, coilovers, etc. Did the lowering springs on your IS help with the harshness of the ride? What do coilovers do? Other suggestions on possible suspension modifications that would essentially make the ride the least harsh? Tire model/brand recommendations? Probably limited to only a few tire sizes I would imagine.
