JIC Coilovers/F-Sport Sways Installed
Still a bit uneven and has what little settling that may occurr to go, but I'm very pleased and was a little surprised the installation wasn't more of a challenge.
If you separate the spindle from the upper control arm at the ball joint the install goes very fast!
Ride/handling is terrific. Just terrific!
Now I need to find a GFX front lip in Starfire Pearl, anyone have one for sale?
And also some careful measuring for the proper sized custom hubcentric spacers.

Clean?
Now that's a good one.
I wiped the rims down and got some of the bug guts off the front for these photos!
Lower?
Not with those HKS cylindrical mufflers, good buddy! And I've got them tucked up pretty dang good! They scrape backing down my driveway with anything heavier than a 2 liter Coke in the back!
And with the current Obamanation going on, it's not likely I'll be moving into a place with a flatter driveway.
What's the highest clearance exhaust? I'll probably go with a Joe Z to replace the HKS.
Ride? Handling?
Heck, it rides better than the factory suspension even over the speed bumps here in the subdivision. Handling with the Coilover/Sway combo is superb, this is how a sports sedan should be! A friend with one of those late model M3 BMWs is sick at how my car blows away his "pinnacle of motoring" in the turns.
Looks?
It does look good, better than anything on the Lexus dealer's lot when I went by there to pick up an oil filter. Parked next to an ISC, customers were walking up to and looking at my car! Some gentleman was telling his young girlfriend/wife (?) they need to wash this white IS when I walked right up past them, and got in the driver' seat!
A 6 to 7 year old cute little girl with another couple waved at me when I backed out of the parking space, I waved back, rolled the window down and said "Happy 4th pretty girl!"
"You need to get THAT car, daddy!" she said.
WOW, felt like a million bucks! DRIVES like it too!
