Can you make any comments on the LEMS bulbs versus stock?

Well, the LEMS bulbs are not any brighter than the OEM ones except it has a chrome coating outside so the orange color is not that obvious during the day time. Especially our headlight and tail light internals are all chrome.

Loving your ride! Just picked up an IS and will follow some of your mods. Just curious about what you said about the SPC camber kits that is was only because you needed more camber. So was it needed to correct camber to spec after lowering?

Any local shops you would recommend to install suspension on the 3IS?

I get the SPC camber kit becuz I wanted more camber to run a more aggressive wheel spec.

I go to my frd's shop, if you want their contact pls pm me.

Ordered Greddy RC350 quad tips exhaust. Hopefully they will fit on the car without any issue.

Thumbs up

@gpxluke: Your ride looks great and I actually like the 18" wheel setup, too!
I was thinking of installing the KW3 with the stock F Sport wheels. Would you mind sharing your KW setup (height and stiffness) and overall feel at higher speeds (80mph and above)?
And did that IS2 Cusco strut bar need any adjustments or did it actually fit your IS3 engine bay?

Height is 1 finger gap all around (slightly higher on the driver side), stiffness is factory setting +2 clicks, rebound im setting at +6 clicks

No adjustment needed for the struct bar.

@gpxluke: Thanks for the info
Any experience on how the KW handles changing driving surfaces, like smaller bumps or irregularities, as well as breaking at higher speed (80-120mph)?
