thanks guys....ya i baaadly need to drop it. I always hated to put on rims before lowering it,all my previous rides (300zx,accord,prelude,civic and integra) were all lowered,thats usually the first thing to do,but those cars were just lowered with stock shocks,somewhere in the $300 range,but this one i dont wanna do a basic lowering cuz i heard its gonna damage the car,and a good setup is like $1000,so im waiting for some $$....soon though...any suggestions guys??

And "Fobbish" **YES** I love the F900BT,i had 3 different double dins in my lexus since i got it,JVC 810,Panasonic w100 and now this. Its the best unit ever,will never sell this one.....its worth every penny man...good luck if u gettin one.

Nice newer car and welcome. As for the intake on the 1gen IS300, they all burn out the MAF (Mass Airflow Sensor). I had 4 buddies this happened to and the dealer wanted to deny warranty work. The MAF sensor is not cheap either and makes the car run and shift rough. I removed my intake and used the K & N drop in and loved it. I just wanted to help and save you money and hardships.
