Hmm...not a very aggressive drop for having coils. Nice find, though.

Yeah but they are not going for an aggresive drop, they are looking at a better ride and handling with those coils.

Not aggressive but not bad either. I'd like to hear about how it rides or ride in one personally to compare it to the stock suspension

Not really feeling the wheels...

The suspension is suppposed be top notch, made by Advox..

and

The turn signal mirrors, I'm sure will be a really big seller soon..!!


They actually have a lot more for the F.. (see below link)

http://www.tomsracing.co.jp/e/

Like a Tom's Drop in Air Filter, Tom's L.T.S (Throttle Controller), a whole bunch of Tom's Chasis Braces, Tom's GT Shifter... etc...

I like the mirrors also.
Anyone else think that we have the most ridiculously oversized side view mirrors?

You should compare them to the IS250/IS350...

Yours are smaller compared to ours...

TOM'S stuff is always cool to see, classy and really expensive but like most say Top notch. They could have dropped the car a bit more, especially in the front. Wonder if they have plans on making a body kit?

This is off topic, but I hope FABULOUS starts designing for an IS-F.
