Arrow Need expert advice on setup?

Hey everyone, I just picked up an IS250 as a commuter and need some help with what setup to order. I want to run a set of the 19" LC818's, but don't know if I should go with a bilstein and H&R/Eibach setup, or something like a Tein street coil over setup.

My main concern is that I want to keep this car smooth and somewhat luxurious/comfortable. So no squeaking, bouncing etc. What setup will give me a good enough drop to make the 19"s look good, but keep the ride closest to stock.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Depends on your budget and if you want ride-height adjustability or not. A popular budget coilover setup is the Megan EZs, while the most popular seems to be the BC Racing coilovers (of which I have and love).

Honestly, I don't really care about being able to adjust the height...as long as it looks good with the 19" wheels I want to run. I guess I have to post a thread and see if anybody has that setup so I can see if it looks good or not.

As for coil overs, I don't really have a set budget, but would rather pay more for a better quality product. Most of the cars I've been in that had BC coils rode pretty well, but most of them made a clunk noise, so I would rather buy Teins or any other brand if it'll give me a better, quieter ride.

Go with coils so you can adjust the ride quality
