I know that the eibach is an inch....but after you install it, it becomes more than an inch.....so any of you know of any spring that lowers not that much??? I will really appreciate it......Also, check this site out.....I am thinking of getting the Lexus Is300 Style 22 body kit....let me know what all of you think......http://www.spoilers.com/ge/lexIS300.htm

Eibach seems to be the way to go if you only want to lower your car an inch or so. All springs will settle a little after you drive with them for awhile. I have Eibach's and really like them. H&R is another great spring out there as well but it will lower your car a little more than you may want. If you want a specific ride height, then go for coil-overs. I am sure some of the other members can recommend some to you so you can adjust the height to exactly where you want it. As far as the body kit goes, I agree with White IS300, the kit looks great but no tail lenses covers and no shopping cart wing.

I agree too....I am not putting the taillight cover and the wing....Another thing is the price is pretty good. Also, what is the difference between poly urethane and fiberglass? The body kit is fiberglass.

I'm planning on a front bumper spoiler assembly in polyu.
Fiberglass is a thin and somewhat brittle material. It's not as forgiving as polyu. It generally is more prone to breakage and is definitely more delicate. It is cast molded and allows the manufacturer to make knife edged details and very straight lines for dramatic looks.
Polyu is not as thin as fiberglass and has some give to it. It has elastic properties to it. It is a little more durable and less prone to breakage, but can still break. It actually tears as opposed to shatters like fiberglass. It generally looks smoother in terms of design elements because you can't make as sharp an edge as fiberglass. Also, it can be repaired, but is more difficult.
Both take to paint fairly well. Most manufacturers use polyu in their bumpers because it allows use of DOT 5mph bumpers.
