dude, you spent $400 on the parts eh?

if you have a paypal account I'd be willing to donate a $20 to help you out for helping us all out.

guess we could call it the AWD Coilover Research Fund

believe it or not..it is somewhat difficult for companies to create an AWD coil-over, simply because they deal mostly with RWD (more performance involved) drivers to deliver to. I know over at e90post forums for bmw's they have an (XI) or AWD, coilover KW-V3 which is about $2g's. Have no idea about fitment on the IS..but with all knowledge, having AWD and a 2.5L 204hp engine, i don't see a point in really having a coilover kit unless somekind of turbo or supercharger comes out, it's not enough power to put to track use or even hard road pushing..i would just swap out the springs and hold ya ballz to see what comes in the future..companies will def. build coilovers if they see performance options further than an intake and exhaust

nah i dont need speed for my car. i just want that option to adjust the drop and everything else. if i dont see any benefits from the coils i'll just keep my springs. they need a turbo on the is350.

hey now, i'd still like to see a turbo or charger for the 4GR.

Taking my car out to the Dragon was great and a whole lot of fun.

Getting the perfect drop and corner weighting would be the best thing for this car performance wise.

As a bonus, I can lift the car during the winter

"I will send out an email and see if I can get an ETA. We just got back in the office from being out at SEMA and then the Super lap Battle. So it is a little backed up here with emails, but I will get one out ASAP. Thanks again for your patience."
