I have TEIN SS, and would have to say JIC's are the bestestestest. My friend has them on his IS. TEIN's didn't satisfy me.

Yes, but they don't make those for the IS250 / IS350

To knowledge they currently only offer the:



Model....................Part No. ...... Front / Rear Spring Rates.....MSRP
IS250/350 06-08.....GSE20FLTA2................12kg/7kg.............$2,398

everything was fine up until about 120 miles after i put the coilovers on, CEL, CHECK VSC, and traction control lights came on???

what gives? sounds like it has nothing to do with the suspension changes...

i didn't unplug any wires/cables except the ABS sensor on the front hub. but i check those and they're fine...what could it be?

i dont want to take it to the dealer for them to check it out cuz i know theyll give me a hard time about how im suppose to do such and such things to my car....blah blah blah...


HELP!?!?
