Default My 2012 IS350
Back in April, I was at the local Lexus dealer getting my older 2006 IS350 serviced. I saw this car sitting in the showroom, and really like it. After a couple of weeks I went back, cause I was next door anyways. The salesman and I started talking, then I asked him to see what he could do for me in trade-in on my older IS350, in the end I got a really great deal. So here is my new car a few months later with new wheels, lowered, coilovers, etc.

Vossen CV3 19" +32 fronts, +38 rears.
Hankook V12 Evo 235/35/19 front, 275/30/19 rears.
BC Racing coilovers lower about 1.5" (maybe a little more, adjusted them several times)
45° rolling in the rear fenders for the meaty tires.

Next up I'll be adding darker window tint, roof spoiler, painted calipers, Geddy or Tanabe exhaust. Maybe more to come.

Enjoy

Just the standard 62-220-10 front 62-220-12 rear

My preferred damping is at 10 clicks from hard in the fronts, and 14 clicks in the rear. Its a daily driver.

Car looks hot! No such thing as a good deal when you trade in. Still a big thumbs up!

Do you need to modify your front fenders with that set up?
