The eibach pros lowered it 1-1.5 inches and it looks plenty slammed to me. . i confirmed swift and eibach pro springs would both work with Koni, I would personally go with swift considering all the outstanding experiences people have with them.

Are you suggesting you would have done something else? The alignment will cost $100 and I am doing the spring/installation myself.

Edit: Looked back at the spring pricing and it was $300

I CANT WAIT until my door panels and dash is replaced to get rid of all the little rattles it will feel like a new car again with these shocks
Thanks Fojo,

From the camgear recall to the dash replacement, Toyota made them only in USA. I imported mine from USA but I cannot get the recall here, even though local IS ( comes with 300 engine instead ) having same problems.


thanks again and congrats with the luxury ride
