Default ISF absorbers & springs for 2IS '08

Hi Guys
just gotten a IS250 RWD 2008 and I am considering changing to absorbers as they are making some noises

Can I confirm if the ISF's absorbers & spring (I should be changing the whole set as it doesnt make sense for me to sense 1 and keep the other) will be suitable
and will I suffer alot comfort wise if I go ISF

Thanks!!!

im selling my is350 rear shocks if you're interested hit me up. as far as ISF components are concerned, the spring rates are higher which translates into a noticeably stiffer ride. and keep in mind, the negative rake..

thanks for the reply

unfortunately im not in the US hence the shipping is gonna kill me

thats pretty much the info i gathered from reading up these couple of days regarding the isf

I m looking at koni yellow/kyb/tokico blues w stock spring for the moment

any recommendation for these that does not sacrifice too much of the lexus luxury feel?

ps i was quoted about 120usd per shock for stock oem

tokico or koni are sporty alternatives and will work better than kyb. but they're also pricier. 120usd for genuine oem shocks is a good deal if you want to maintain oem levels of comfort.

the thing is there are so many differing opinions on these
I am nearing towards tokico tho

just want to be sure...u are talking abt the tokico blues and not the illumina?
are the blues or the koni yellow adjustable?
