So I want to lower my is250 too maybe with the f-sports lowering springs? But I was just wondering if that is too low... I drive around in Boston and there are lots of pot holes from snow plows and what not. Is it a good idea to drop my car a little? And if so ahh are there any other suggestions for springs besides the f-sports ones?

Here is my SGM with black rims

*With lowering, I won't do it here because of the awful roads in Wisconsin and rough winters, but lord I wish I could.

What kind of rims are those? And where can I found them?! Also so are you saying I shouldn't lower mine since some of the roads in boston are terrible and it snows like crazy in the winter here too?

You can do whatever you please, but after having lowered cars in this climate in the past, I will NEVER do it again.... or have a winter beater.

Rims on my car are MSR 045 (I wish I would have gotten hyperblack) - they were pretty cheap which a lot of people on the forums frown upon but honestly these have been great..... we had a hot stretch here this summer and it caused the concrete to buckle... there was a 8" ridge of concrete I hit doing like 50 mph.... rims and tires both survived just fine.

I got mine at a local rim/tire shop.... got 4 rims, 4 tires (general altimax HP all-season - 55k tread warranty too), locking lugs and install for $1100

Those wheels are XXR 522's in Black Chrome. They're pretty cheap.

I was just going to suggest bronze rims. This is a IS-F but its pretty similar to our 2IS
