Eibach Sportlines - 1.6" all the way around.

How is the ride comfort with the Eibach's? I was planning on getting a set myself, and the car looks sweet :thumbsup:

Ride comfort is great. A little stiffer that's it. Overall still feels like stock but takes corners like a mofo. Go with the Sportline...the prokit is only 1" all around, not enough difference in my opinion. Bilstein for shocks - they're 1" short than stock too so if you do go with the prokit you'll get a little more.

1 finger gap in front and half in the rear.

Reason I didn't go with the Teins.....after tons of research, for the price you can't go wrong but it sags in the rear and settles more. With the Eibach minimal settling at the most and no sag in the ass.

Looks good. The less drop the better. My brother had his IS lowered and couldn't carry any passengers in the rear seats because it would bottom out. LOL.

Danm D, looks good. Guy I work with has his IS on skunk2 coilovers set just a little lower than yours. I like your better.
The stock rear wheel gap is my only beef with the IS.

Only seen the graphite colored L-Tuned IS - Ed's the dudes name i think. How does the other look? I'm not gonna go with the actual L-Tuned front end though, Going with the European front chin instead.

Congradulations! I love lowered Lexus....I got H&Rs for my LS, Eibachs wouldn't be as harsh.

:thumbsup: good choice. and great looking IS.

So are you going L Tuned sides and rear? Dont get a front lip man I think you should go for the Lsportline front bumper. Its a very subtle change from the stock bumper but it has a very slick look to it

Dont go 35% either. Go at least 20% dude :D

Yep L-Tuned sides and rear but with European/Asian L-Tuned front lip. This is how it'll look....minus the gayass spoiler.

Nice and subtle.

I did consider the Lsportsline front end too but I thought it looked kinda like a Corolla on roids hahaha.

Tint hey.......but how would I show off my good looks?

There are two graphite L-tuned IS300s in town. The easiest was to distinguish the two are:

Car 1: B-option package w/ RCTS turbo kit.

Car 2: C-option package w/ 19" Advans.
