Default Slamming my is300 need advice!

Hi guys,

Looking to do an hellaflush with my is300! i need some opinion on coilovers! some people suggest tein (but they are saying they dont go that low) people would suggest megan ( some people told me that they are cheap). or even BC that have a lot of problem with leaking.

and what would be the best off set to achieve my goal!

Looking atm for 17x8 +25 and 17x9 + 25 too (and what fender mod i would have to do) i am pretty sure about rolling and pulling maybe shave ? .

thanks in advance!

A new fellow in lexus family!

I've seen coilovers on the IS300 leak. They're bound to especially daily driving on them and racking up the miles. If that's one of your biggest concerns, I suggest buying em brand new-You'll get the most life out of the them that way. Yes, you can buy a used set for cheap, but you may blow em and have to rebuild them 6 to 12 months later. Powered by Max is a good option. ...just my opinion.
As for fenders, they would at least have to be rolled flat. Slight pull may be required depending on your tires and camber

If your willing to drop money you will get a better product . I'm running hks hipermax III's and they are awesome you can adjust the stiffness and they'll drop pretty low I'm about 2-3 Inches of the ground with more room to go lower

I have Megan LP's and they ride good but the lowness is not that great. Unless you mess with the preload which will make it ride like ****. I too am stancing my Lexus out.
