I have an IS 350 and was just curious if anyone knew how much the suspension that comes with the sports package drops the car versus the luxury package. Is the wheel gap noticeably smaller with the sports package?

 

Yes, it's 0.5" lower.. It also has firmer shocks..

 

Thanks for the quick response...Does anyone have any comparison pics that they can post?

 

My 350 sport pkg-

 

The difference in shock valving is so minute, I would not really say it has firmer shocks.

The springs have a higher rate, and do lower the car half an inch.

 

I compared it to a friend's car. Basically it's one finger lower.

It's really not that big of a visual difference. But it's there if you stare at it.

 

I see you've updated your sig with your red out lights

 

LOL! Nah, the picture is decieving. The pic in the sig has no red-outs. I just installed it yesterday, haven't taken any pics yet.

I'll probably keep it on for you to see this Saturday. I don't really like it.

 

I test drove lux and sport back and forth and couldn't detect any real difference.
I ended up with 350 sport

 

Good Choice........I thought the sports packaged cars were 1" lower. Can't find where I read that. Can anyone confirm?

The only thing I wanted that wasn't on the sports package was the illuminated door sills.

 

The sports pkg is only 0.5" lower, not 1". I wish it was 1"!

 

Not me, I traded in the Vette after getting sick of scrapping bottom at every pavement joint and driveway. I have to slow down for ant hills.

Nope, it's just fine for me.
