Short Story..

Had an 07 IS 350 premium, traded for a pre-owned 07 IS 350 Lux package.

When I was considering buying the car, I noticed it sat just slightly lower than my 07 premium. So at the dealership I actually measured.

07 premium with 5.5K miles floor to fender was maybe 1/8 under 27"
07 Lux with 2k miles floor to fender is right at 26.5" (pictured below)

I measured the cars all the way around, the rear was less noticable but the front, just under 1/2 inch lower on both sides.. About the 11mm diff between sport and lux.. The car for sure has lux package, wood grain, rear sunshade etc.. so I'm baffled... I crawled under the car and was barely able to see the strut part number, 48510-53141, on the passenger side front.. Part number doesn't match any of the part numbers listed in other threads..

Hmm???? Anybody want to measure your car for comparison??. I know other factors are involved, like tire wear, but it will give me an idea. Much appreciated.

Heres a pic.

 

What color is the sticker on the struts? Yellow is th sport suspension. White is the normal suspension.

 

White.. Perfect Thank You!

Not sure why it sits lower, but I like the look..

I haven't had much seat time with it yet, but the suspension felt a little firmer with less body roll than the other car.
