Default Isf suspension on is350/250

Hi all,

Has anyone installed an isf suspension on an is? If so, what's the drop rate compared to the lux package. I'm interested in picking this up from a member and swapping out my stock suspension... But since I have 18 inch rims I don't want it too low..

Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I hear that the 08 ISF suspension rides pretty harshly. The consensus over in the ISF forums are the some guys are actually going to coilovers and getting a better ride along with better handling.

I saw further comments on this on Top Gear via youtube.

Something to consider if you want to purchase the ISF suspension.

As for the drop, not sure how much lower it would be, but remember also that the front suspension had to support the v8 up front, so it wouldn't surprised me if the front end actually looks higher on a IS250-350

It should fit. I considered it for some time, but after looking up curb weights, I decided that the IS F weighs too much more than the ISx50 for it to work well.

Might be okay still, but it is quite a bit heavier.
