Default What Suspension are you on?

Sup PeopleZ
I'm just wondering what kind of suspension everyone is on?
Im currently dropped on Eibach Pro Kit, however its not low enough for me, Coils to come sometime down the road.

Also if you can, post which set of coils have the maximun drop allowance, I believe tanabe and tein are 2'' and some other ones up to 4'' but not sure

Just got the TEIN CS coilovers, as I wanted my IS to ride like a Lexus, not a Honda . Dropped down to 1" gap all around

Couldnt have said it any better

Its a perfect drop and unless you are going to track your car the coilovers are not worth the $$. If you want to go lower for show then its your only option next to air....and in 3, 2, 1....llamboiz where are you

im on the F-sport shocks and spring, it rides great, beside the normal clunking noise, but it is pretty stiff in my opinion

350 pro-kit

Wanted a conservative drop, maintain a smooth ride, and save $$$.

Someday, maybe when my shocks go bad, I'll consider coils to be able to go lower and fix the infamous "Lexus Lean" our 2IS has.

But for now I'm pleased - just can't wait to install my wheel spacers!

What clunking noise? Is this something all lowering springs have, or just the F-Sport springs?

I haven't lowered mine yet, and don't know what to expect.
