Here's the story: I've lowered my (standard) IS on Eibachs by 30mm...The front is grand , both for height and handling , but the rear is causing me concern. Basically the car feels very soft on the rear , I even had to put a skid plate on the exhaust it was bottoming out so much! Two up , in the front , it feels OK , but put any load into the boot , or carry any rear passengers , it feels very wallowy and crashy , hitting the bump stops far too easily. I don't drive it hard on bad roads , mostly cos I can't ! BTW the dampers were replaced all round only a couple of thousand miles ago under warranty by the dealer......

I'd also like if the rear was a tad lower say 10-15 mm.....

What do you guys and gals reckon? Coilovers?

Bear in mind , the roads are pathetic in places around home....

could be that the damper its self has gone, that would explain why it feels crappy.

Definately go with coil overs! if not get new shock bodies or even spax make a full kit for £500 all round

The dampers are new genuine Lexus ones , fitted by the dealer :blink: ...

Mebbe I'll go for a set of Spax or some Coilovers, on the rear only.
