New Lexus IS250 F-sport owner here, Switched from Acura to lexus! Im totally new to the modding world, and would love some pointers on some "Starter mods" I`ve already got the windows tinted to 20%, debadged her, and removed the gah aweful pinstrips But im kind of in a ponder of what to do next! Things i dont need? Must haves? any suggestions would be awesome!
But for me, Lexus left these cars looking quite 4x4 from the factory... so my suggestion for a first must have is to lower it. That doesn't mean it has to be slammed, but at least a set of springs to bring it down 1-2" minimum.
Will the stock shocks be okay with lowering springs? I found some RS-Rs for $200+
Depends on which springs you choose. RS-R Half Downs or Downs should not be an issue. Here is a pic of my wife's ride I lowered with Swift Sports, part number 4T912. Sits nearly perfect, handles impeccably, rides like a stocker.
I have RSR Downs on my 250 and ride is 95% stock which is to say very good while reducing body roll further during cornering.
Totally agree on the ride quality. Just got back from a trip across Michigan for a wedding and on the open road it drives like a dream can't go wrong withe RSR downs
