Default Second thoughts on lowering, might bring it back up.

I finally lowered my IS350 on H&R's and I love every aspect of it. SO FAR that is. The ride quality isn't as rough as I thought, and the apperence factor has sky rocketed. Handling increased far more then I expected. I havent felt a hint of body roll and its been close to a month. But reality is beginning to settle in. my shocks. I am killing their life span, and the afs system is programmed to a specific ride height, and when altered, after a while my beams will be aiming is directions way off from what it should be. only other alternative i can think of is the F-sport springs, but the ride height will not look the same as my H&R's.

I agree, a lot of pointless speculation.

Give us more feedback on the ride/handling as you accumulate more miles please ("as reality sets in").
