Default IS250 RSR Down and Half Down SoCal

Anyone in SoCal (Glendale or Burbank preferably) with RSR Down or Half Down installed on a IS250 that I can see in person before making a final decision on which route to take?

It appears there's a difference in drop height between the IS250 and IS350 due to the added weight of the IS350 motor and transmission.

If you are keeping 18inch wheels or getting 19 inch wheels, go for the super down springs.
if you are going for the 20inch wheels get the half down springs

If you get to see it in person you might also want to ask for a ride. Take a ride in a half down and downs to see the difference in ride quality. I can tell you that with Half Downs theres a difference in ride quality than with the stocks but not by much.

I have the downs on my car and they look great! I put 20mm spacers on all 4 corners to stance the car out a little more and it looked perfect, wheel gap was gone and it sat basically flush with the wheel wells on all 4 (no rubbing).

Returning my lease soon and will be selling off the spacers if you're interested. Let me know.

These springs are good, i can vouch for them. Definitely changes the look of your car and looks amazing with spacers.

It looks like I may have to go with half downs or swift's to maintain functionality and avoid damaging the undercarriage and exhaust of the car getting in/out of steep driveways or parking lots.

I have the same issue in my complex's garage. I have to come out and use the ENTIRE driveway to get out without scrapping the undercarriage. Its kind of a pain to deal with, but hey form over function is what i was going for LOL.
