Default Modded Is350 F sport

Hey guys how are you? I've been lurking in these forums for the past 2 weeks and let me just say that your pictures, posts and input helped me in making the jump from BMW back to lexus as my lease was up. I took delivery of an is350 ultra white F sport approximately 1.5 weeks ago, and yesterday had it lowered on RSR down springs and 20X9 front and 20X10 rear vossen cvt's installed. Thanks again for all your posts and information that helped me to get the right set up of tire size and choose the right company to lower the car to the perfect height. I'll upload pics as soon as i get to my desktop as i dont see it possible from my phone.

Any rubbing? I just picked mine up last night. I was going with 20's and wanted to see how low it would actually be on RS*R downs or if I should go with half-down's.

Congrats on the new car!

Just curious, are you leasing the IS and doing these mods or did you buy it?

RSR downs are perfect, i was torn between the downs and half downs but said decided to go with the downs after doing some research. No rubbing whatsoever, had a passenger and two stock tires in the backseat (wrapped in plastic of course) and one in the trunk, hit a few dips on the way home and took a corner pretty hard and nothing at all. Keep in mind the springs still have to settle but im pretty confident that rubbing will not be an issue.

Leasing, I lease all my cars, my bmw was also lowered tinted on Vossens. Thats about the extent of my modding though.

Congrats on the car and welcome to #TeamVossen! I actually have their 20" CV5s on my UW IS250 F-Sport and I love them. The CVTs look great too.

Thanks you. I was originally going to go CV5 's but I fell for the CVT' s as soon as I saw them spinning on Vossens website.
