Pictures are of IS250 AWD lowered to approximately 25" (ground to fender) up on one of those "drive onto" garage lifts. Meaning all the weight of the car is on the suspension same as on ground.

Thanks a lot everyone! I know with AWD you have to keep the drop even between F&R as much as possible. So, today I maxed out the rears. The car sits 23.75" in Front (ground to fender) and 24" in the Rear. And these should settle a little more in the next few weeks. The vibration surprisingly is not as bad as it was with the rears set higher.
For now I'm waiting to get my wheels so I can go get an alignment.

Thanks! I got a lot of criticism when I first joined haha! A previous owner definitely drove it in NYC... :/
You better not! lol. I can't go any lower unless I mess with the preload, which I'm not doing. haha Wheels are in tomorrow, will try to take quick pics if it's not too late and/or raining!
