cheers man, i have owned AE86's, Mk1 golfs in the past but never a Lexus so dont really know anything about em to be honest. thanks for the reply great help and will keep you in mind if i sell the springs, Mike

hello.
you could go back to standard springs which will put the car up in the air, or lower it by 35mm or 40mm lowering springs.
it shouldnt really scrape or touch with 18's then.

or you could smack a set of adjustables & have it low as you want or high the next day!

I have a set of standard springs lying around in my garage. Send me a PM if you want them.

tell her to drive slower...
tbh if its just brushing slightly its doing no damage....what parts it thats getting hit?front middle or rear...
also you got pics??never heard of lowering springs on their own making the car too low.....im running a 90mm drop front and 100mm rear and dont have that much greef to be honest

she is in Ireland and im in the states til june so il try and upload photo's, the wheels fit fine no brushing problem there its under neath when she drives in the city, she says anytime she has to drive over a speed bump it catches the whole under neath probably exhaust?? id like her to have bit of comfort but also have nice stance,I think i might get some 35mm springs which ones suit the is200 best cheers for all your replys, Mike

your car might be running those springs already mate?

I thought with 35mm springs and 18" rims car would be close to standard but just fill the arch little better, im try'n to up load some photos not havin much luck. hopefully by the end of wkend... oh and she said its hiting/brushing in middle and back!
