New Pics of IS Mods
Hi Everyone...
Great site. Thanks for all the useful information.
I wanted to get some pics of my IS250 before the weather on the east coast gets to bad.
Much thanks to MrMark from High Society VIP for all his help and guidence.
So far I've lowered the car 2" with Roadmagnet springs and added 19" VIP Modular wheels, 19" x 8.5 & 19" x 9.5", 30 & 35 Offsets.
I can't say enough good things about the way the car rides and handles now. Should have come from Lexus like this.
Again, great site. Love all the VIP cars and the big power CL's...
Keep up the great work.

I know ...I know, the shots suck...
That's why I didn't post them in the Dig. Photo section.
The car has settled a bit from when the springs were first installed.
And the angles are odd. They really don't show the car at it's best.
I'll try and get some good pics soon. Getting ready to put the stock wheels and tires back on for the winter.

They were his...I was lucky enough to meet him before SEMA through a friend.
His car is such a sleek ride. So many classy touches. He really knows his stuff.
These are one of the nicest wheels I've ever seen. every last part of the wheel , down to the valve stems and caps are so well made.
I'm really bad at taking pictures, so they don't do the wheels or car justice.

I know... I thought I'd give you some time to get settled in from traveling.
I want you to see the car in person.
I'd also like to find a nice wing set up for the front, but more along the lines of a carbon splitter.

Yes, AWD...I'm putting the stock wheels on for the winter, I'll post pics when I do.
You can really tell the car is lowered when the 17" wheels are on. The 19's raised the car off the ground a bit.
I was really suprised with the ride quality. I was expecting allot rougher ride, but the car drives perfect. It diffently is a sportier ride, but IMO that's what the second Gen IS was missing. This is my daily driver for now, so I really don't want to get too crazy with a stiff suspension or big mods.

I'm going to change my wheels next week. I'll have new pics up then.
For some reason the car doesn't look much lower in the pics.
When I first put the springs on, I had the stock 17" wheels and tires on, I couldn't even back off the lift on the garage. And it has difeently settles a little bit since then.
