The ProKit drops the front 1", and the rear .8" (I think).

Don't know if it has been mentioned before but why did the previous owner sell his IS350? What was his reason/replacement?

Like the ISP wheels.

Only one picture a time when attach. You can link multiple pictures to a pre-uploaded site.

I like those wheels too, you don't see too many of those. Good night pics too, very shiny.

Also if you add smilies to the same post with your pics then your smiley counts toward your pic count, I found that out.

I am loving the car btw...much faster than the 250. I love the exhaust...Tunabe. Sounds PERFECT for the type of car. not too rice. just low enough to make the car sound like a stock v8. looking forward to adding an intake, but i am not sure what one i want. i am leaning towards the KN

so i take the car in to change out the brakes, put in power filter for aux input, and have them check this squeaking coming from the sunroof. MY DAMN TIRES ARE SHOWING CORD ON THE FRONT TIRES ON INSIDE. I was like craaaaap. So i ordered new tires. nothing fancy just some standard run of the mill falken. just the fronts too. just to keep the car safe. i plan on possibly upgrading to new wheel soon. But not completely sure. I am however loving this car.

I'm going through tires really quickly too with the Pro Kit. I just have 22K miles, and it's time for my 3rd set.

hmmm. wtf. is that normal. i talked to the guy at okc lexus today and he said that 10-15k was normal for an 18 Z rated tire. i think i went through two sets of tires on my mazda 3 in 40k miles and they were 17s Z. just not used to that low of tirewear.

maybe it is normal, i dont know. i ride motorcycles mainly. cars are new to me. i just spent 225 on a rear tire for my R1 today. awesome tire. dual compound. soft on edges and medium in center. perfect for oklahoma straight boring roads.
