Your best bet is coilover. When I first got my AWD I looked at the sale rep Awd with fsport spring. I asked him why does your rear sag and front sits high. He was that how it looks. I was like no thank I'll pass on any spring. I was the first AWD on coilover. Only BCR was willing to work with me to create it. So trust me coilover or nothing us my opinion.

Congrats on the new IS! Very clean ride and platform to work with! Judging by your Supra, this IS is going to be great! I love the idea of gunmetal (or maybe some Matte Graphite ) finished wheels to match your Supra! Let us know if you have any questions regarding fitment/tire sizes/etc!

After some reading they say lowering an AWD is250 puts everything out of spec cause the drivetrain to be outta wack and open the car up to future damage. I really don't know what to do now. If that's the case which it seems logical and legit, I wont drop it cause I need a reliable DD.

Little update...Got the car lookin pretty good without spending lots of money. Very proud of the look so far in the amount of time I had the car.
First got the car tinted with 5% film at Louie Tint in Staten Island. Did a great job.
Then I changed the emblems to black with plastidip. Longer process then I thought.
I Installed DDM tuning HID's in the headlights and fogs.
Then I plastidipped my rims for fun.
Next mod I do should be coilovers. BCR or Megans, well see.

Thank you so much for the words. Makes me feel like I did something right. Honestly iv been looking into your wheels and when I was lookin I noticed matte graphite. Deff something to consider in the long run. Ill be in touch in time as I feel the rims you have fit the look I'm going for, clean classy and sport at the same time.
