Not seeing F-sport sway bars in your sig, that's the most noticeable-improvement mod available for the 2IS IMHO

You could go Fab front or Wald trunk. I also know a guy selling CF Fab front lips.

I wouldn't give up on the PPE headers. But if you're gonna spend a grand on something else, I'd recommend a full body kit.

you heard you lose ride quality, what do these ppl you heard from consider 'ride quality'? cuz thats very subjective... to me ride quality is a stiff suspension with minimal body roll... cars that arent stiff with alot of body roll are crap, example is es350 to me it has a bad ride quality...

I only got the rear because the front does almost nothing (<7% change vs. >150% for the rear) on an IS350. I noticed a HUGE improvement in handling characteristics (particularly with high-speed turns/lane changes) and almost no negative side effects. Some complain about it being stiffer (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), but I couldn't tell.

I would go with the Fab front.
