if you dont want to use spacers you can special order a set that clears the is350 brakes like i did. I am however still in the nice waiting stages with a deposit down to zoeb. I can't wait! But these will definately be worth the wait. I also just finished dropping my car with h&r springs. I will look very similar except be running a bigger tire in the rear.

Post some pics when they come in. You will be amazed how much the black chrome changes the look of your IS.

Hyper Black would look GREAT on a starfire.

I am not sure the exact specs off hand, but they are H&R springs
