Greetings CL, I'm a long time Toyota and Lexus owner and would to share my current build, that's 150k+ miles in the making. (apologize in advanced for the cellphone and instagam pics, it's all I got)

I purchased my 2007 IS250 brand new in California late 2006 with 12 miles on the odometer.
I had no intentions of doing much if anything to it. After a few months I decided to add two RF 12's and an amp for more sound.




This is pretty much how it sat for about 80k miles.

I did little things here and there like upgrading the shift **** to the F-sport, and a carbon fiber kit to go over my scuffed wood trim





about a year and a half ago I moved from California (The Bay Area) to Hawaii. I like to blame island fever and boredom for the subsequent mods

my car with about 150k miles and the Island streets was in desperate need of new shocks..

I was either going to replace the stocks with some KYBs and call it a day or coilovers





I decided to go with HKS Hipermax IV GTs, this video help sell it to me

This is how it sits right out of the box, very comfortable ride, modest drop and improved handling




With the car lowered it was time for some wheels

I decided to go with the Work CR Kiwami's 19x9.5 +25, 19x10.5 +22

Thanks! Most definitely, the coilovers settled a bit lower since those pictures but I will go lower, ordering my camber kit soon and roll the fronts. The rears are rolled will likely pull too.

AlexiaMom

Yea that's the part I hate... rolling the fenders ... I rolled mine and still need to go back and roll again cuz it rubs sometimes... I hate that rubbing sound

I hear ya my rears are rolled so no rubbing there just a bit in the front when turning in the front, yes the sound is terrible
