Here's what it looks like with the stock 17" after everything settled a bit ( I might be using wrong terminology here, but you can clearly see the car is lower). The pics above are right after the installing the springs. This picture is during a road trip a couple of months after the install.

That's an awesome drop. Definitely gonna get the F-Sport shocks with the H&R springs. Looks like H&R decided to color their springs black now (or that's their stock picture that I was looking at).

EDIT: The springs settling is the right terminology.

Great post. I plan to purchase h&r springs soon but not too sure on the shocks just yet. What made you decide on f sport shocks over other brands?

Wow this set up seems good. I'm considering add this on my car soon. F Sport shocks are specifically engineered for our IS by the cooperation from Lexus and Bilstein.

Yeah I agree .. this is H&R sport springs on a 2010IS250 AWD with stock shocks .. These Niche rims are 17s! The car has gotten aggressively low but not super flush low lol it's perfect🤙🏽 I was so tired of feeling so much body roll. Let me tell you, these springs changed the car completely .. it feels like a planted rollercoaster! I'm choosing which shocks to go with as of now, KYB , KONI , etc. I'm looking into wheel spacers to install today as I type this lol then later getting some Sway/ anti roll bars
