Default Lowered IS350 AWD Anyone?

I just traded in my IS250 AWD for the 350 AWD. Seemds like there are very limited options for the AWD again. The 250 was dropped on Fsport spring but from having coilover on my prior car the lacked the performance i was used to. I was thinking for doing the full Fsport spring/shock but before i pulled the trigger was hope to see whats out there and get some feedback.

Thanks in advance guys.....

Beautiful car!

How much were the BC Racing Coilovers and how is the ride compared to F-Sport springs with stock shocks?

Also, is it true that you have to re-seat or adjust your coils every year or two?

thanks man, got a good deal from the vendor above. the ride is much better on the bc coils and more importantly the drop is even! its going to sit this way for the winter then i will lower it a bit also look into rims.
i would definitely snug up the collars every so often.

Did you do the install? Fairly easy? Significant difference to stock ride quality?

Congrats on your beautiful, new car!

I wonder as well how the ride is with the BC coils... What are your overall impressions of the previous 250awd vs. your new 350awd?
