Default Please Help a NOOB!!!

Hi guys,

First post here on this forum so I'll get to it. I have a 06 IS250 RWD and have had it since April of 06. I wanted to put some Eibach Sportline kit on it but is there anything else I should pair it up with ie. Bushings, Shock absorbers ect... I want minimal camber wear if possible or are the springs by itself sufficient enough? Please advise.. THANKS in advance guys!!!

Welcome to CL.....If you want Eibach's I think the drop won't be too much to have so much camber. Although Megan has a rear camber kit (about $200). There currently isn't a front camber kit for our cars. Some people have used SPC's front camber kit from an IS300 but requires modification. If you want stiffer shocks, then you can go with an aftermarket brand.

Thanks a bunch! I think 1.4 front 1.0 back is perfect, also gives it an more aggressive stance. If camber gets real bad I'll look into that rear camber kit you mentioned. Thanks again Sffd103. =)

Sure thing...you can get an alignment after to verify EXACTLY how much camber you have and if you think you'd like to purchase the rear camber kit. Good luck

By chance, do you know what is needed and the code to get rid of the "oil change" light? I did the change but was not able to get rid of that annoying caution light. Thanks in advance!

You know what? I actually don't know that. You may want to post that question on the main forum for 2IS's.

On a side note, don't forget to look at Sewell Lexus. They're a vendor on CL(click the vendor tab). If you register with them, you'll get a CL discount on ALL factory parts. I just purchased my spark plugs and oil filter. Have used them before for a bunch of stuff.

But you should probably go and look through this:

Great info for a newbie to CL (and it's required reading...)
