This may be a dumb question, but when springs are installed do you lose the variable suspension ability of the IS350 f sport?

Cant figure out if springs or coilovers effect this.

Hopefully someone can clear up the confusion

No they will not. The AVS actuators are attached to the shock body. Changing the springs will not affect it.

Thanks for clearing that up flipside909

When you changed your springs did you change the struts and the elbow tie?

installing coilovers will cause you to lose that option on Sport + mode...word is RS*R is working to offer an option for those wishing to get coilovers and keep that option

bucanero

Awesome, that would be a great option. RS*R is tearing it up, they are owning the 3IS market. This would just take them over the top.

Well it will still work, but depending on how low you go it will afect ride quality...

I'm dropped on RSR Down springs and 19's my lowered natural camber was -1.08 that's the most you'll get maybe lower if you do the super down springs

Definitely on lowering springs.

Do you have access to basic hand tools and a day to dedicate to a suspension install? If you purchase BC Racing coilovers ($999, if not less), you replace all four corners myself for less than what a shop will charge to do 2 corners on a mis-match of springs/shocks.

Any "performance shops" in your area that would offer a coilover install? Shouldn't be too much, since the install on our cars is really straight-forward.
