Thanks... This is indeed the kit I have on my car. It offers the perfect drop, IMO, and I've taken in plenty of times through the twisties in Angeles Crest Freeway, and the car's handling was top-notch...

Hey javy the front drop is a 1.4? Wow I thought the front was a 1.0 and .8 for the rear. I guess they have diffrent springs. Either way your car has a very nice drop.

I thought the Eibach Pro-kit drop is 1.0F/.8R?

combfilter you have the LUX package? Looks a bit higher than the sport package.

The Eibach drop is 1.0 and .8 inches, front/rear. I don't know where the 1.4 number came from - someone else, maybe? That sounds more like the Tanabe or Eibach Sportline springs (which are not made for the 2IS)...

Yes i do. and compared to Javylsu's my **** looks like bigfoot the monster truck. I still need to figure out what to do about rims. I want to get 19's before I lower it because I don't like really really low profile tires. i actually like the tires that came on it stock.

dude 06 IS350 (Sport Package, JOEZ Intake Pipe)
13.38@105mph <-- insane. All you have is that JoeZ intake? You have a timeslip of this? Not that I don't believe, I want to see your 60' and 1/8th mile. The best I could get was 8.802 in 1/8th mile with a 60' close to 2 even. Nice job.
