Lowering
Okay, I'm kind of a newbie to suspension and i have some questions(sorry if they're dumb questons).
1)Whats the best way to drop my IS about a inch and not losing ride quality?
2)Will getting biggr rims(lsportline 19's) make the car itself lower?
3)How are the Lsportline springs?
Any info would be helpful, thx in advance.

Bigger rims will not lower the car. In fact, sometimes it makes the car look raised, but this can be offest some w/ lower profile tires.

I have the lsportline springs and shocks. With it i have the TRD race sways. I think this is one of the best setups there is. Coil overs in my opinion aren't the setup for an IS. Its cool for hondas and **** or if your some hardcore racer that wants to race there IS.

Here is what you said in another thread, and I'm still waiting for a response "Just installed l-sportline suspension kit. This one of the phatest setups i think. The ride is smoother than stock!!! Recomend anyone to get it."
So tell me, why would want a smoother ride than stock? I promise you're not going to be able to keep up with me in the monutains, or at an AutoX event. You should come to the next AutoX event and prove that you're ride is better than stock. Oh and again, I go to the point that if your setup was so "phat" that a ton of other guys would be running the same setup. I don't see anyone running the same things you've got.

Most people just respond with their opinions in this forum, but has anyone actually driven a car with stock springs and shocks, then one with standard L-Sportline springs, then one with the L-Sportline suspension, then one with the coil overs to compare?
Most customers complain enough about the installation cost and time to do it once, let alone multiple times to "compare". My suggestion is to leave people and their opinions alone, because you know what they say about opinions...........
Unless anyone in this forum can speak from experience, my suggestion is to not speak at all about this subject.

I've got H&R on mine and it's perfect. I don't see any reason why you want to make the ride smoother then stock and put a stiffer sway bar in it. The only thing that trouble's me now is the camber. With H&R, it lowers 1.4 front and 1.3 rear, my cambers are -1.2 front and 1.9 rear, the adjustments are to the max already. It sucks that they don't make camber kit or else I would of gotten the coil-over as well.
