Post Hey guys I'm new

Hey fellas, My name is Jayson and I am new to the forums. I am excited about becomming part of the lexus family.

Well, I have had my IS since September and I enjoy everyday of driving my first lexus. I bought the car bone stock. I havent put too much money into her yet, with the exception of IS350 wheels.

Here are some pics I took today, excuse the crappy pics they were shot with a Canon powershot SD750.

I am dropped to about a finger and a half ( don't know exact numbers...)all around and my camber is within factory specs. -1.6 rear but I forget the front camber setting. If you can find some coilovers and a good alignment shop, they will get it as low as possible while maintaining factory recommended camber settings. -1.6 is the high side of the recommended camber in the rear but still within spec. I can't recall the front recommended settings but I know my front is within spec as well.

very clean IS man. What set-up are you running? I'm trying to find a good setup that rides near stock.

Excellent 1gen with 2gen RWD 18" wheels. I always loved the 1gen 5spoke, but the 2gen wheels on your car make it look newer. Excellent post!!!
