I have TEIN SS, and would have to say JIC's are the bestestestest. My friend has them on his IS. TEIN's didn't satisfy me.

Model....................Part No. ...... Front / Rear Spring Rates.....MSRP
IS250/350 06-08.....GSE20FLTA2................12kg/7kg.............$2,398

everything was fine up until about 120 miles after i put the coilovers on, CEL, CHECK VSC, and traction control lights came on???

what gives? sounds like it has nothing to do with the suspension changes...

i didn't unplug any wires/cables except the ABS sensor on the front hub. but i check those and they're fine...what could it be?

i dont want to take it to the dealer for them to check it out cuz i know theyll give me a hard time about how im suppose to do such and such things to my car....blah blah blah...


HELP!?!?
