DC-250

Additional reply from Tokico:

Thanks for the info. , I did some research on the AWD. Looks like only 13960 AWD sold for 2006 and 4318 in the first qtr of 2007. These are pretty low numbers in comparison to applications we normally tackle. We still may be able to do it though, as long as other manufacturers don't get involved with it. (It waters the numbers down too much). Usually cars we're OE on, stand a pretty good chance.

Don't worry they're all here as well.
So be it, we only need ONE company to have Coil's for us anyway right?

Tokico might be our best bet as the shocks on the ISx50 are OE Tokico's. We should really push them on it. They also sell the AWD 250 in Japan I noticed. There has to be a market for this!

I looked on the tokico site but couldnt find an email, can you post where you sent it to?

Just ordered a 2008 IS250 AWD - should arrive in late September. The setup I want had to be custom ordered. It's the Black Sapphire exterior with Sterling (light grey) leather interior, luxury package, navigation + Mark Levinson sound system, and sport package (exhaust, ground effects, rear spoiler). I'm leaning toward the ASA AR1 18"x8" wheels all around (non-staggered and I'm not decided on whether to go with black or silver) and was wondering whether anybody has experience with or pictures of that arrangement.

Most of the IS 250/350 pics that I like best appear to be lowered. I'd appreciate feedback on lowering from anybody that uses their 250 AWD in snow conditions. Is it a good or bad idea? What are the best options?

Thanks!

Hey, If you decide to lower your car on coilovers )when they are realesed)you have the option of raising them for the winter! All problem's solved, now when ARE they comming out?

I emailed tokico as well!!

Solostage- You just got a crap load of stuff done that made me wanna throw my IS out the door. If you get coils too, I might have to jump ship.
