thanks bredda

as for the springs, im not sure if they make a set for the is350 but i know when i had bought the Tein s-techs they could fit the 250 & 350 so the Road Magnets may work with both also.

a dropped car on stocks ALWAYS looks better than a non-dropped on rims

this is probably a dumb question but are you stock wheels 17's or 18's? id kill to drop mine that low but i am putting on 19's once this stupid snow clears, and i don't want them to rub...maybe not a good idea?

my stock wheels are 18's, i think if yu go 19's yu should be ok, i think 20's with this drop may require some fender mods.

and thanks for the compliments everyone

its not the so much the size of the rims but mostly the size of tires and offsets and amount of drop that cause rub... there are more than enough threads that explain this here on the 2IS board.
