I've logged in before regarding tranny noise but never introducd myself and the car.

I bought the car a month ago and ordered all the parts before taking possesion.

Went out yesterday to snap some pictures.
What looked good on camera turned out to be a real mess on the pc.
Had to play with them to make it somewhat worthy since Inall I had was cellphone pics.

Anyway here it is.
09 IS250 6spd
Lowered on h&r springs
19" avantgarde on v12s
Gfx front and side lip kit

Thats it for now. Super confy daily driver

these pics are the best sell for the H&R lowering springs i've seen. i'm pretty sure this solves the H&R vs. road magnets for me.

thanks for the pics!

Thanks fellas.

Wheels are 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +40

As for the h&r springs, i love them.
They dont sit 100% even and the rear is higher then the fromt but they are super confy and 0 rubbing.
I need a 5-10mm spacer in the rear to fi the center caps and the wheels should sit more flush aswell.

Good-looking ride!

Are you using your stock shocks with the springs?
