Personally I would drop the front another 1/2inch. So this way it doesn't make your IS look like it is sagging. The front lower than the back will make it look alot more aggressive.

i set it on the stiffest setting. its pretty damn stiff. i tried it on the lower settings. its pretty much like stock. having it on a lower damper setting while lowered -2" will scrape the lip when exiting a block on a decently slanted slope. so i put it on the stiffest. + i like a sporty ride.

well yeah i found out why the front is lower than the front. these coilovers were originally meant for the IS350, meaning a few hundred pounds heavier on the front end (engine). for all of those getting coilovers on the IS250. make sure the lower the front a little more than the rear.

jeez with the INGS. im not too sure thats a smart move. it really does go pretty low. when your looking at it. i put it at the lowest today, and i raised it 1/4" because it was too low. (planning on gettting the INGS) so i didnt want to put it so low that the lip kit would be an inch from the ground. just dont wanna scratch up my baby when i get it. i do admit it does look damn sick though

Those are by far the best wheels for this car. Good job. I wish I had the money I would do the Maya STMs with either some Zeals, BCs, or Tein CS. I guess if I was really on a budget I would get some eibachs, but if you are buying STMs then you can't be on too much of a budget.
