Default Some stuff for sale (oem midpipe, suspension, etc) SOCAL

I have some stuff for sale off my 09 IS250 that have been laying around.


- OEM Midpipe with resonator delete SOLD



- Stock suspension mated to cut eibach prokit springs. Drops pretty low and rides basically like stock. Springs have about 8000 miles aprox. on it, oem shocks have about 30,000 miles. Contrary to general belief, they actually make the car squat down nicely under heavy cornering, and is NOT bouncy at all. They don't bottom out either, and is perfect for someone looking to drop low but don't want to dish out money for coilovers. With stock 18's they are tucked in the rear and slightly tucked in the front. With 19's all 4 corners are tucked. $320 firm picked up in San Diego

With my stock 18's (Taken only a couple days ago):


With 19" wheels:





- Set of 6000k HID's, one of the bulbs are bad but the easily replaceable. The ballasts are brand new never used. $60 picked up.



- Broken headlight, perfect for anyone that needs a new projector and wiring. Only thing broken is the exterior housing in the front. $20 picked up in San Diego.

For fastest response, email me at Mofoxd at yahoo.

Just a tip from a guy who has tried it and failed lol your probably gonna need to come down on the midpipes significantly. I never got a shred of interest in mine even at 50obo.

I wrote it in the ad, they're eibach prokits that have been trimmed on top to make it sit lower. Sounds ghetto but it works and it doesn't feel like cut springs at all.

I find it hard to believe they ride like stock. You're defying all the odds boy racers have been facing for decades.

You can believe whatever you want, I've had absolutely no problem with this set up. The "boy racer" odds you're talking about usually deals with cutting OEM springs most of the time. I have a bunch of people from norcal whose been in my car that can vouch for me.

Cutting the stock springs is a better idea....but neither one is good.

You're assuming eibach pro kits are progressive, they're actually linear. The Eibach Sportlines are progressive. I've done my research man, putting aftermarket springs on OEM shocks are just as bad but people do it anyway. The pros out weigh the cons, and you're only sacrificing s small amount of shock longevity for a lower stance. You'll eventually blow your OEM shocks by leaving aftermarket springs for a long period of time since the spring and shocks are not valved together with mismatched spring rates. (OEM's are built for a different spring rate than their aftermarket counter part)

You can stop ****ting on my thread now thanks.

I always thought Eibach Pro-Kits were progressive since that's what their website says.

Either way, Good luck with your sale.
