Hey guys whats up? First and foremost I need to give Ray (pocky) a shout out for helping me out with my xenons and giving awesome recommendations. I picked up my IS on Dec. 28th, havent really had a chance to make a thread to show you guys what i got, nothing out of the ordinary but still a lil somethin

i traded in my 2006 RSX-S for my IS250 with navi, a hell slower than my RSX-S but i don't care

Oddly enough, that was the first thing I noticed on the daytime pics (LOL). A true necessity to the ISX50.

The Acura was nice, but your IS is better! Welcome to the club!

Congrats you will like your IS250!

I went from a Acura Integra GSR to an IS250. Although the IS is a nice ride after a year of owning it I miss my acura. The Lexus is a bit boring to drive. I might get a 09 STI next year.

How is the ride quality of the H&R's compared to the stock suspension?

Are the springs already installed? Do you have any straight side shots of the car showing the drop of both the front and rear in the same pic?

Yeah its very boring to drive lol but its very comfy, even with the h/r drop. It is pretty low though, i hit the bottom part of my bumper sometimes, so much for a lip lol As far as the springs vs stock ride, pretty much the same other than it being more bouncy, which is better than being stiff, hate having a hard ride!
