ISmojo you have a PM

 

I think you should tint your windows before anything else.

 

Window tint is the first thing I did

 

all mods in my sig.... springs install coming soon

 

My IS250 dropped on Eibach Pro Kit. MTEC 6000K HIDs and MTEC 4750K Cosmos Blue halogen fogs. HID fogs later. 50% front and 30% rear tint. Exhaust maybe later. Anything is better than those dinky stock exhaust tips. So I replaced them with better looking ones. Added OEM spoiler. For now, thinking about 19" silver Racing Hart RS-721 or RS-451. If I see something better, I'll condsider.

 

Here's another angle.

 

And another one. I tried uploading all pics at once, but couldn't.

 

looking good ben!!! i like it =)

 

did you drop it on stock shocks? if you didn't what brand was it? Also did you take it to the alignment shop yet to look at the numbers? If so were the numbers within specs? Thanks!

 

Where did you take your grille to get matched with the paint? Looks awsome, I definately like that better than the chrome on certain colors..

 

Yes, I kept the stock shocks on. Yes, I took it to the alignment shop.I don't have the specs here with me at the moment but cambers weren't totally off. I believe it was within -1.5 deg. All they adjusted is toe.

 

How's the car ride with the springs and stock shocks? tight? Also, how's the steering wheel, any vibrations, pulling, etc?

 

The car rides close to stock. No vibrations on steering wheel. No pulling before and after alignment. Best of all, the car looks sportier (IMO) and handling is more responsive. It will look even better when I put on wider wheels. The stock wheels are just not wide enough to be flush to the fender. But I know someone who used spacers. It looks much better if you don't plan to get aftermarket wheels.

 

Sounds like everything is working out well! Could you post pics in a couple weeks to see how your car looks with the springs settled? Also, if possible, I wanted to see in a couple well months how your tires are doing with wear. This will help me tremendously, when it comes to this car. Because I really want to purchase the 250, but before I go further I just want to see how the suspension set-up will hold up with a car that i'll have for years to come. I've had my share of problems with my current car and I don't want that happening again. Thanks alot for the information I really appreciate it.

 

So have you guys talked to your local dealerships to see if they will honor your warranty after lowering the car? I talked to Lexus direct and spoke with 3 different people, and I also talked to 2 dealerships in my area, and all have told me the same thing. Lowering the vehicle voids the entire warranty and they will NOT fix anything on the car if it is lower via aftermarket parts.

Anyone found a dealership still willing to honor it?
