I'm a little perplexed why people are completely ignoring my camber issue.. i am literally making < 1/2 the rear tires hit the ground...
PS - I have never experienced the mentioned "bog", personally. I've launched from over 2K before without a problem, but again, given my camber issue, it just throws the tires into a frenzy.
I was going to raise the car and make a run to the track tonight but I am not feeling so great so dont think i'll be making it.

I was just doing some thinking about the IS-F's and the additional hp from N20 and the Turbo setups we've seen so far. On the dyno both setups produce very good numbers, but at the track they have failed to produce results that coincide with the dyno figures. Could it be possible that with the air resistance and extra load on a car at the track vs the dyno that the transmission is just not holding the power and slipping?

I actually just took off a rear tire and looked at the suspension and remembered what a pain in the a$$ it's going to be to lift it up for track testing. Maybe another time.

windex - how does the dealer "react" (warranty) to your NOS install? Did you do wet/dry, direct port, or...? Just curious.

Glad that caught your eye! ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The shop did a GREAT job on the install. it looks really, really nice and is high quality work. On a side note ("perk"); the factory engine cover still fits.

Unfortunately I don't have a "before" picture.. but if you take careful notice (compared to another IS-F), you'll see that MUCH more than just adding the jets happened.

Yeah.. I am fairly low. Probably 2"+ all the way around on the stock 19's. I rub (well, its more of a SHHHHHHHHHHHHHKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK sound) when I hit a dip in the freeway over 60MPH. ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

That is exactly what it entails. Just go wheel by wheel and measure. Really not that difficult. Time consuming yes, but not hard IMO

Re: Coilovers
They are easy to change if you have a proper lift/jack, all i'm sporting is the factory jack that's to change the spare......
