Ebay has them listed at pretty low prices...like 950.00 i think.

no minimum drop in the front as you can actually set them .5" higher than stock. Min drop in the rear is .5".

Tein recommends a 1.4" drop in the front and a .6" drop in the rear. This will probably get you to a very even gap all around.

Yea I want tahe CS because they're not as stiff and I belive that the CS are litthe higher on the minimum drop than the SS but correct me if I'm wrong. The reason why I don't want a big drop is because I have 20" wheels and I'm rubbing in the front on the Eibach Pro-kit right now. And I don't want them too stiff because roads in NY are terrible.

Get the CS, if you get any Teins. They're the only inverted monotube Tein coilovers avaliable for the IS, and anything else is like fitting leaf springs on your car. Remember that you'll probably want them stiffer as you go lower, though, otherwise you'll get bigger/worse rubbing issues.

Minimum drop is as above, max is 2.2" front/1.7" rear.

Try giving MVP motors a call (they're one of the ClubLexus vendors). I just ordered my TEIN CS through them yesterday. Can't wait til I get them.

Kevin from MVP quoted me 1200 shipped (I'm not sure if he'll be able to do it at that price again, but it never hurts to ask). It came out to be cheaper than the Carson GB as I didn't have to pay taxes (MVP motorsports is in Texas) . I placed the order on Thursday, and it was at my place by Saturday. Awesome deal for me
