Default 07 Lexus IS350...Full Hotchkis Suspension Installed Pics

Just to show two simple pics of the

Hotchkis Suspension Complete suspension kit installed on my 07 Lexus IS350

The kit comes with (info taken straight from Hotchkis)

Lowering Springs
Front Coil Spring Rate = 350 lbs/in.
Front Drop = 1-5/8" (41mm)
Rear Coil Spring Rate = 380 lbs/in.
Rear Drop = 7/8" (22mm)

Front (32mm) and Rear Sway bars (19mm)

Bascially identical to the F-Sport suspension kit, and price is slightly less...

installed without any problems. Ride quality is comfortable and nothing overall harsh, handling improved drastically over stock. Fit and Finish awesome, no fitment issues.

Best thing about the lowering springs, is that there is an optional aluminum spacer for the front, to raise the front if you find that advertised drop without the spacer is too much.

In my case, this is installed without the optional aluminum spacer

and on too the pics:




oh and its pretty much settled, driven approx 1800 KM already
