If you have them, please post up your pics of your ISx50 with a drop riding on OEM 18" wheels.

Please mention what brand of springs you have.

Thanks!

Dude, look under "Second Generation Forum" and my car is posted damn near at the top with stock wheels and coilovers with wheel spacers.

Here I'll make it easy for you: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=339482

Sincity - thanks for the link. I actually saw your car earlier today when I was searching the forum. I really like the look of your car, but coilovers are just not in my budget right now. I'll have to be okay with springs.

Right now, Eibach Prokit for the 250 and H&R springs are at the top of the list for my 350.

search my last thread (teinS) installed from wednesday/thrusday of last week. i dont have spacers so you will see how SinCityIS looks compared to not having spacers. I think its a must if you are going to keep the factory rims and lower IMO.

I think the spacers are a must if you don't lower and keep your factory wheels as well. Then you should run at least 15mm and maybe even 20mm spacers. At least that is my opinion and I like the european look.

i would save up and go for the best.. i have H&Rs and i didnt mind the ride quality at first cause i expected it.. but its just getting unbearable now with soo much construction or even the imperfect roads that look smooth its reallly bumpy.. im getting annoyed by it considering its a lexus i need a smooth ride. so coilovers are the answer.. plus i want my car to be a bit lower and evened out all around anyways

here is a side shot of TeinS just installed. It will settle more but should give you a good idea. I am very happy with them!

I really like the IS250 Eibach kit. I may end up going with the 250 Prokit on my 350 because it seems like the drop is a lot more even that the 350 Prokit.

ProjectDNA - the Tein S-techs look great. Looks pretty even too - how would you rate the even-ness of the drop in person? How is the ride compared to stock?
