Like the title says, I'm trying to figure out what my setup might look like when I'm finished. I'm installing F-Sport springs and throwing on 19" inch wheels with 235-35 rubber.

 

I posted pics of this IS I saw at the dealership before for some '09 pic request, but it happens to also be equipped with F-Sport springs and 19" F-Sport wheels. Don't have rubber info tho...






Hope this helps.

 

they are using 225or 235 in front if i'm not mistaken... and 255 at the back

 

This def. helps. I appreciate it.

 

225/35-19 and 255/35-19

 

Good pics of the IS250 w/19's and F-sports springs (at Fremont I assume).

At the San Jose car show I saw on display an IS250 with same wheels on stock springs. It didn't look bad. I don't think it even had the Sport package suspension.

 

I got the F-Sport 19's on F-Sport springs and the drop is so mild. To the OP, if you don't have the F-Sport springs yet I suggest you look into H&R if you want to stay with springs or better yet get coils.

 

Good feedback, but some of us are looking for minimal deterioration of ride and handling. I agree, after seeing the 2 IS250's with same 19" wheels and with and without drop, the difference visually was mild.

How do you like the ride and handling on your F-Springs? Are you using stock shocks?

 

^^^^Yup, Magnussen's in Fremont.

Keep in mind that the driver side may sit slightly lower than the passenger side and also I don't know if the springs have completely settled yet since it's a new car sitting in the lot.

 

I have been into other cars lowered on other springs and frankly I don't think they are any harsher than the F-Sport. And yes I'm on stock shocks. Ride is very good. Not too different in handling, you'd want sways and even the rear brace for that department. If they were only as low as H&R I would probably stick with F-Sport but it isn't so I'll change to coils in the near future.

 

btw, are you happy with the Eibachs on your car?

 

Eugene did your receive the package?

 

no spring
get the coils

 

The ride quality is excellent, but I wish I could go lower.

 

wow doesnt look bad with f-sport springs
