QFT! I always think it's weird how people stress about their cars. Maybe because I've owned 20 or so over the years now, it's not such a big deal.

So I went to another shop today to ask about getting the coilovers setup properly; their first comment was 'coilovers are for racecars'; and the other guy said he would have done it using springs only, not coilovers. They also don't do counterweighting, but want $260 and semi-guarantee i'll be happy with it...

There has got to be a Shop in your area of FL that can help!!!
Try posting an inquiry in our Regional Florida Lexus Club forum, for a shop referral by other Club Lexus members...
I know a few members down there that are highly modified with GS's & IS's.
Someone has to know a good shop to properly set up your IS-F.

FINALLY got it done. Had to come up a good bit (well, it looks like it to me) in the front and just a little in the back. Didn't get it back until it was dark so I'll try and post some pictures of the new ride height. It's a little higher in the front than I would prefer (looks wise) but it's as low as they thought it should be w/o me having to be concerned about the rubbing again.
