Cheers Gaz31, I have started this again in the "Lexus Owners Club → Lexus Models → Lexus IS 250 / Lexus IS 250C Club / Lexus IS 220D & IS 200D Club → Engine & Transmission" section Hope this is now correct. Cheers

I had Nexen on my Mk2, they were okay, but not that impressed with wet handling as the rear was really really twitchy. Falkens on Mk4 make a big difference. Also found Nexens, tramlined on motorways, where as Falkens do not. One thing I have found is any small amount of un-even wear causes vibration at different speeds on different road surfaces, so keeping tracking and alignment spot on all the time is a must to ensure reduced road vibration issues. Not so use why the LS shows up issues with tyres so much, but may because it is such a smooth motor, you notice any deficiency.

Haha no not at all, but it is something you tend to put up with if lowering is the way you want to go. If it's your daily driver then of course it may not be practical. I would say with a 35mil drop you wouldn't have many issues anyway.

Looks over practicality and sensibility?

I haven't lowered my IS but used to have an RS which was lowered 60mil. I was always around North London, City, East end etc. I never let all the bumps put me off, not the most comfortable or convenient mod to have but so what...it looks nice.

Don't live there anymore,but really what's the point more hassle than it's worth,but hey if that's what you want up to you,I personally wouldn't.
