Default Suspension/Brake upgrades...what do you recommend

Hi everyone,

So far ive tinted my car, installed a sub in the trunk, and i am in the process of switching the nav computer for a 4th gen/installing an SLU for my ipod. I also want a few performance mod...like I said the ride of the IS feels alot sportier then the stock SC...I want to emulate that. Ive made a list of a few things such as sway bars, coil overs, and a brake upgrade (ceramic pads/slotted rotors).

What brands and models do you all recommend? Anyone in the Tampa area that knows good shops? Ive looked around here and saw alot of people's different choicies but I wanted to see if anything has changed or if opinions have changed after extended use. Its a shame to replace parts at 8600 miles (even though age might be a factor) but I am really missing the sport feel of the IS.

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

I can't speak from personal experience, but I plan on buying Megan EZ coilovers in the Spring. It received good reviews from people on here and they're not too expensive.

The Megan and BC Racing coilovers would be a good option for your coilover upgrade.

Shoot me a PM and we can help you with options and pricing
