hi guys,*

newbie here looking to improve look and handling of my newly acquired pre-owned IS250.

decided on H&R spring for the lower stance however couldn't make up my mind to*match*it with Tokico HP Blue or F-Sport shock.*

price wise F-sport is slightly more expensive

gurus, pls advice between the 2 shock. thanks

not keen on coilover as my previous ride with Ohlins DFV gave me hell lots of problem after 40k miles.

I'm not a fan of Tokico's after 10k miles mine crapped out.

Neither. Go for some coilovers. You wont be disappointed.

Wow that sounds bad

Not gonna use coilover for this car. Not gonna track and tired of living with the clunking from coilover once they start to wear out.

Find someone's oem Sport suspension that was taken off for coilovers. It will be your best best since the setup is linear and not progressive.

Probably defective because Lexus's factory shock sport shock is made from Tokico with Lexus's specs.

Well I just installed F-Sport with H&R. I really like them. Little more firm, but similar to stock comfort wise. I am glad I went with this setup. I think Tokicos are okay, more stock-like. I use to have them with H&Rs in my old car.

Went with H&R and F-sport. Just placed order today.

I was gonna say just go with the F Sports.

F-sports are too bouncy with H&R's. Go Tokico.
