I believe specONE was looking for a pic of the suspension arm on the vehicle.
From what you have above, it looks like the new design was to move the bushing from the bottom of the strut and into the control arm.
Yeah. I need these sooo bad! Hands down the sexiest look. I also have the exact same car as you. I just installed an injen short ram intake. Makes the turbo SUPER loud and I def recommend it to you if you haven't done an intake already.
Where could I purchase those tips, and also what was the installation process for the new tips? Bolt-ons? How irreversible was it. Lol sorry for the noob question but jesus christ those tips are PERFECT for the car.
I am currently running the same short ram as well, def a major difference in sound!
I purchased off ebay, someone had bought for their M3 but ended up not using so i jumped on them lol
As far as the install process, i didnt want to touch my stock exhaust like most do. Instead, i had the shop create an axle back with flanges for me, that way i cant take on or off as i choose.

Do you know what other brands offer the coils for the 17 is200t? Looking to getting some for mine, and googled came back w/ Megan's and Godspeed. How do you like the Megan's so far?
Currently, only BC Racing is offering the correct suspension for the 2017 IS200t. As far as megans, ive purchased a few times for different cars and tbh, bc racing coils ride soooo SOOO much better. As far as Godspeed, i have never used them, nor do i plan to. I ended up sticking with BC as i have already purchased the coils, i just had to wait for them to make them for our cars. Theyre currently on the car but they still need some minor height adjustments and alignment. Ill be posting updated photos soon.

Did you tune the cart after you installed the short ram? Looking for an intake for mine.[/QUOTE]
i haven't tuned yet, currently saving up for the downpipe.
You can probably find them on ebay. As far as the process, i had an exhaust shop create an axle back set up with flanges that way i cant remove and swap out as i please.

Awesome! Yeah, Megan's usually good for the S13/S14, but I haven't heard too many good reviews for other cars, and Godspeed I've heard is always a gamble.
This is the first time I hear of BC Racing. I looked up the part on their site and it didn't come up =\, is it because you're using the RC ones?
Please let me know your thoughts on them is once you've got them adjusted correctly. Also, do you use them to track, canyons, or just daily driving?

megans are okay coilovers especially if you're getting a huge hook up or free. As far as bc, I'm currently driving it around without the adjustments fully completed and so far I love them. I have them on the soft settings and they ride very similar to stock, except for bumps on the road, that you can feel them a bit more but nothing crazy. If you're going to order the set, call them and let them know you have the 17 is200t model, they use the same coils as the 3is but GS350 front coilovers mounts. I'll be using the coils for daily driving and some canyon time but I doubt I'll have any track time, but who knows!
From the pic his looks like a RWD as the strut is long and connects directly to the control arm...with no support bracket.
Also the arm is aluminum...whereas the 2014-2016 RWD front lower control arms are steel.

my car is RWD. The control arm is different from the rest of the 3is models. Even the 2016 is200t

Okay. sorry for the confusion. I mis-read what you wrote prior.
AWD always been different for the front shocks mounting points even in earlier model years.
