Congrats man, the car looks great with that drop. I hated the stock wheels on the 09 10 models but with the drop they look great. I sent you pm on some detailing questions.

Thanks! I love the height I have it at now, but I think a lot of people can pull off the slammed look if that is what they are going for... just not my style.
Thanks!
^ I assume you are referring to orange peel. The orange peel on Lexus paint (from the few cars that I have worked on, including my own) is very minimal compared to many other OEMs. Usually, paint will need to be wet sanded, compounded, and polished to remove orange peel... when I purchased my car about a year ago, I did a full paint correction including compounding (Using Meguiar's M105 via Orange Light Cutting Pad, but only in certain areas with heavier defects) and polishing (with Meguiar's M205 via Black Finishing Pad). This was done to remove the swirls and scratches that accumulate over time due mostly to improper washing and drying. Removing these defects greatly restores clarity and gloss to the paint, and will often leave it looking better than it did when it was brand new. Check out Post #26 in this thread to see what I am talking about.

Yess, I agreed. After the correction, your paint look more brilliant than the new car.

How did you choose your coil-overs?
So far I have two mods on my IS350C: 3" antenna and window tint.
I am looking at coil-overs for my 3rd mod to my car and BC coil-overs are high on my list but I also have been looking at the Megan's.
What made you decide to go with the megan brand?
I believe these are the only two products that will work on my 2011 IS350C:

I picked mine up from a CL member gently used.. check the Vendor Section, there are several vendors who sell both of these coilovers.
The megan EZ's ride very similar to stock... I can tell they are stiffer when I am cornering, but for street use, they are very nice - not "harsh" like a race spec coil would be.
