Default m addicted to my IS250

I haven't really posted too much, but man, I have learned so much from all you guys. If it hadn't been for this forum, I doubt I would know half the stuff I know about these cars. Thanks for all your help and for making me blow a bunch of money on my ride. I wouldn't have it any other way!

So, I know these wheels have already been showed off on here by djkhanvict, but since they are on a different car now, i thought maybe you might wanna see.

Vossen 083's - 20x9 front 38+ offset Falken FK452 235/30/20..20x10.5 rear 41+ offset..Falken 275/30/20

lowered on tanabe sustec pro 5 coilovers
red outs
nav-tv
v-leds
20% tint all the way around, 35% on the windshield
sparco shift
and i have a dc sticker on my sunglasses holder that makes my car really fast, IS-F whaaat?










Thanks ClubLexus for pimpin my ride!

thanks man, the car surprisingly rides similar to stock, you can tell when i hit some bumps in the road but I wouldn't have ever dreamed it would ride as smooth as it does! I guess it is because the last vehicle i had was a tacoma that was bagged, soo anything is definitely better than that, i will post some pics of the inside of it that i just took

I know, there is a guy selling the stock kit on the classifieds right now, but im not sure what i want to get quite yet and yeah, i def need some exhaust next, I was talkin to a mechanic down at the lexus dealership and he said he likes the way the f-sport sounds, he said it sounded meaner than the IS-F but dang 1400 bucks is a whole whole lot, haa

Nice, but is your rear lowered to the max? if not i think you should lower it more

Wait, is the top 2-3 pics where the rear is tucked is that how it looks right now?

those pics were all taken from earlier today. Im not quite sure why they look so different. I know that I measured my stock suspension before i lowered it and the passenger side front was half an inch higher than the drivers side, so i set the tanabes at the same height when i lowered it and the passengers side is still off by half an inch, so im thinking that im gonna drop the passengers side down that other half an inch. Im not sure why the stock suspension did that tho, good thing i got adjustable. Anybody else with a similar problem?
