sport tuned suspension vs regular one (big difference?)
I am pretty sure I drove an is350 that was just regular suspension. It handled amazing. Is the sport turned suspension that much better?
Thanks

Do you guys know what springs will give the IS a better stance? I was considering purchasing a set of Eibachs but Im not sure what set to get? I have the 07 IS250 X2 package or the X package in the US . It came with the sport tuned suspension im wondering can I go with the 350 springs? or will the 250 give me a better drop? Sorry for the newbie question.

Bouncy as in when you see a lowered civic driving down the road, you can visually see it bounce. Not a slow boat like rocking like on a Cadillac or Buick, but a very rapid bounce with little suspension travel. It's obviously not as bad onthe IS as you see on an improperly lowered civic, but it does exist depending on the road conditions. I drove my friends sport IS and that was the first thing I noticed on it versus my non-sport suspension. I am not the only one either, there have been threads on this already so I know it isn't my imagination.
As far as the ride height, I stand corrected, I knew it was lower just not sure by exactly how much.
