why dont you just replace your struts. Struts can wear over time and cause an uncomfortable ride. KYB offers good Gas struts offer better performance than the OEM oil struts

other than OEM, your not going to get any softer/luxury style ride from the IS so matter what package it is. (unless you have an F-Sport). The only thing I can recommend is Tein H-tech springs paired with oem struts but thats the best it will get. It will lower your ride but softer ride

replace the struts with OEM ONLY. KYB's are in no way superior to OEM. Oil vs gas pressurized that's a bunch of BS. if you don't want your IS riding like a skate board, stick to stock springs/shocks.

thanks fellas appreciate the advice. Even though someone is selling has a used OEM struts with 40,000 miles on it , do you guys think thats not good to put in the car though its used but still with low miles??
