Looks good man Is that the Pro kit? Doesnt look slammed enough to be the sport kit. I am still deciding between The eibach pro kit, and coilovers. Any rubbing?

I have the Pro-Kit installed. Its kinda weird some angles it looks low and other angles it doesn't. I think the photos kinda make it look higher then normal because I was laying on the ground.

The ride is slight firmer then stock, however I wouldn't complain about the ride at all. The benefits of the handling and looks greatly out weight the slight firmness.

No rubbing issues at all.

You have 18's on there? Im worried about rubbing issues because i have 19's. I already have a slight rub in the front wheelwell when turning on stock suspension. Also are you not concerned about voiding your warrenty on the shocks?

ya they are 18s, so 19s might be getting a bit tight, but I believe I have heard some guys running 19s and the pro kit and being ok. I'm not worried about the warranty as the pro-kit is sold throughout Lexus dealers in Canada. And in addition, I had a IS300 prior lowered on H&R springs, roughly a 2" drop, and my sturts were fine and rode well.

Thanks! I still have to get an alignment, I wanted the spring to settle, however I know a guy who has done another IS250 and they got the camber within specifications w/o the kit. I'll keep you posted on how things work out for myself.

Yeah Canada you are def right ive seen alot of guys on here running 19's with
the Prokit and seem to be fine, i actually even saw a guy who even had 20's!.
Your car def has a good look to it, but IMO it seems like coiloevers seem like
the way to go. I know there more money, but it seems like your getting a whole
lot more for your buck. In my position exactly, i think coilovers would be MY best
decision. I never realized you needed an allignment after springs are installed
Good piece of info, cause that adds a little something to the total price. Now More PICS!!!
