wrong section man.. your looking for Second Generation IS
but for your IS id get S-Techs or DF210's for the 3GS they fit the IS and drop lower than any springs for the IS..

I'm sure if you would have searched you could have found them your self, but I'm going to help you out just this once

NF's 210 (GS4xx)




DF's 210 (GS4xx)



FYI, there is a small difference in drop and spring rate from the GS300 vs GS4xx models.

I understand that but will it destroy the comfort? I like my GS to ride a little more harder than stock

Sorry if this question was already being discussed before. How does a ride quality with the DF?

H&K? Do you mean H&R? Car looks sweet. Stock shocks? How's the handling? Ride comfort?

Heh... yeah. H&R... must have been thinking about something else.

Stock shocks for now, although it certainly would have been worthwhile to do when I did the springs. The handling is 10x better, with almost zero body roll. The overall ride is certainly harsher now (potholes/speed-bumps/etc), but it's smooth as glass on any decent road.

Thanks for the compliment.
