Default 2007 is 350 ? Lower springs to manufacturer height.

Hello to all i need help with this. I recently brought 2007 IS 350 REAR DRIVE. THE CAR WAS LOWERED LOOKS REALLY NICE BUT I KNOW POT HOLES AND WINTER TIME IS GOING BE A PROBLEM FOR ME DRIVING. I WANT TO GET THE CAR BACK UP TO ORIGINAL HEIGHT OF THE CAR. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT I MIGHT NEED TO CHANGED. WOULD IT JUST BE THE SPRINGS OR SPRINGS AND THE SHOCKS. OR ANYBODY WILLING TO SWAP LOWERED SPRINGS FOR THERE ORIGINAL SPRINGS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT , IT DRIVES GREAT HANDLING WISE AND SMOOTH BUT I JUST DONT LIKE NYC STREETS WIT THE POTHOLES AND SNOW.

Best bet if it just the spring change then out. Looking in the classified there plenty of people selling oem shock with spring for 100-200 range.

yes, you can find OEM SPRINGS/SHOCKS COMBO ON SALE IN CLASSIFIED FOR GOOD PRICE AROUND 100-200. IF YOUR SHOCKS ARE STILL GOOD, YOU ONLY NEED TO REPLACE SPRINGS.

OEM SUSPENSION IS MOST COMFORTABLE TOO so enoy

Welcome another IS350 owner to the CLUB LEXUSSSSSSSS

As i said earlier, look at the classified section and create a want to buy thread. There should be plenty of members selling used OEM (original) springs/shocks. I sold mine for $100 not so long ago. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/2ge...eds-06-13-173/

IS350 RWD should be ok in the snow when you have WINTER TIRES on. I bought my IS350 from IL and the previous owners have winter tires driving in snow.
