ive got a 2010 IS250... i know i know. anyways, I want to get it lowered. I would like to beef up the suspension all around. the car wont go fast in a straight line, so id like it to take a turn a bit faster. for right now, i have a $1700 budget. if possible id like to use all this money for purchase and install. if its not, thats fine. I saw the thread with all the pictures and specs for springs, and coilovers and what-not, but ive got no clue what im looking at. Which is better if im looking to improve my suspension? what is the difference between all these options? what is best for my budget? what will the effect be on all the different types of lowering kits or w/e if i drive on bumpy *** roads? will the ride height change over time due to the weight of the car? sorry for all the questions, i just dont have any knowledge of suspension, and i want to make sure im getting the right stuff.

bc raing coils, and you can usually get them for 1-1.2k and install shouldnt be more than 200 if you cant install them yourself. i have personally done 3 different instal for suspension on my IS alone. all went smooth and easy.

rear sway bar is by far best bang for the buck

For IS250, it would be better to get both F and R.

wow... short answers but effective. so bc racing is the way to go then? and should i hold off on sways until i can get both put in at the same time or does it even matter? and how much am i looking at for sways too?

F-Sport sways, Sewell looks like it has the best pricing, not sure how much shipping will be though.

i think ill just get the bc racing coil overs and have a buddy help put them on. THEN get the sways. I might be able to get all this on 1700 bucks. nice!

oh! is there anything else i need to get suspension wise because im lowering the car? ive got no idea because ive never lowered a car before. how is the car being on coilovers going to affect everything else on suspension is what im asking.

if you dont like neg camber(depending on how low you go) get the megan racing rear camber kit. itll save your tires. i like the way neg camber looks so i kept it stock and you will def be able to do bc coils and sways for under 1700 even with buying your buddy lunch for helping you.

i say f sportt sway bars. and MEGAN coilovers for your budget. i think i like megans better then bc coils.. i owned both brands. just IMO.

Your budget is in the right range for a complete suspension upgrade.

You should be able to purchase, Coilovers (BC, KW's, Megan), F-Sport sways F&R and an F-Sport Underbrace. That should really dramatically change the feel and handling of the car.

Look arouund the Vendor Marketplace and contact some vendors, for your F-Sport parts contact Sewell Lexus or Lexus of Westminster, they should both be able to accomodate your needs.

wait... so if i put the coilovers on my car my wheels will have beg camber? like, no matter what? how much is a camber kit? jesus this is a headache...

oh, and i just went shopping for some BC Racing coilovers and now have been questioned about spring rate. what is it, and do i really need this for order/install?
