Guys , Am I right in saying that my IS200 sport is already sitting 15mm lower than the standard model ? If so if i lower the car with 30mm kit is it technically only an extra 15mm drop? Any pics of 04'ish lowered sports wld b great.

ta

Yes that's right. Im in the same boat, just haven't got round to lowering mine yet.

Don't take this the wrong way mate, but I don't think you will hardly gain any kind of power out of a IS200 unless you turbo or supercharge it. If I was you, I'd spend it on the springs, front lip (just under £150 inc Vat from Lexus), rear lip, HIDs and maybe light tints. Side skirts are also an option?

BTW, anyone know where top pick up a rear lip from (apart from Lexus)?

I got this one from Here

No cutting sanding, just a straight fit.

That's a nice lip but I'm after the chunky one, not sure what it's called but I think there's only two types that you can get, or am I mistaken?

Btw, does that lip then fit straight on top of the standard lip?

Blueflame without even thinking twice...it is a catback, cheaper and sounds nice but not disturbing

Had one on my GTT and was good didnt realise it was full system. any pics/sound clips

As above, anyone ever had polished/diamond cut Aero 18's? Any photos? Cheers!

Never seen it myself, was going to do it when I had mine refurbed a few years ago but chickened out and got them silver. If I do them again though they will definitely be polished :winky:

Should have done it! Any idea how they are to get polished?

Thanks!

Sorry to bring up an old thread but if the Pport is 15mm lower, does that mean that 40mm springs for the IS200 will only lower mine by 25mm, 50mm springs lower mine by 35mm etc

Looks good! Are they 17's or 18's Stevie?

Just found these, 50mm lowering! :winky: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LEXUS-IS200-TOYOTA-ALTEZZA-TENZO-LOWERING-SPRINGS-/370413590739?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item563e5ed8d3

I was wondering if 40mm drop on a Sports IS200 will lower more than a "normal" IS200 or less? Is the suspension different?

its opinions like that "chavvy" one that give owners clubs the gash reputation they've got across the internet......

i'd post pics of mine but i doubt they'd help you as im on 17s mate.

I'd still like to see it if you don't mind. Is that the Sports version Lexus?

Personaly, I don't think you can get much chavy with a Lexus unless you put some ridiculous fast & furious style bits on there...chavy cars in my head; kitted up Corsas and Saxos with £1000s spent on it for nothing!

What about if you have the Sports model? Is the suspension different on them? And if I get the 40mm lowering springs, will they lower the full 40mm or just a small amount?

I have won these wheels :) I was not 100% serious on bidding on these, yet i was offered a 2nd chance on them and then made an offer on that and i have got them for £240 + p&p = £300 (lowered p&p to £10 from £60 to make it up to £300) :D

There was a car breaker quoting me £420 not including p&p so i think i got a good deal here considering the 2nd chance offer was £290 hehe.

You done well there Ian, should look good on your car....very nice colour you got on that Lexus. You got the smoked lights on the back or chrome?

Adding a spoiler adds £100s on to your insurance ? Really ?

A sh*t company will do that ye but a decent one like Adrian Flux won't. Their rule is if it increases BHP then your premium goes up, if it's just looks then no it won't

I like both of them! Very nice and clean too! Ormi, where did you get the front headlights from? Are they Altezza lights?

no mate i done them myself......remove from the car put in the oven pull the lense off and paint the inside a colour of your choice......

Sounds good. Is there a thread somewhere on how I can do this, how long I put it in the oven, do I paint it or spray etc.

Why would you do that to your car?!?! Joke, looks very nice mate :)

How much was it to get sprayed if you don't mind me asking? I've sprayed mine but the finish isn't great!

white to me has always been a rally colour for alloys, enough said lol, just my opininon again tho

I think you're right actually, I was just thinking of some 200sx (I used to have a couple), they look good with white alloys on green and same for bronze, not sure if it would work on the IS200 though...

Gun metal grey, white (hard to keep clean) or a nice polished finish

I'd love to see the drop on that :) Any pics of it?

Anyone got photos of a 40mm drop as well?

I was thinking of a 40mm drop too, eBay springs for £95. The drop on your pic there looks spot on, especially the front wheel

Ah that's ok then, I paid £300, alloys are in excellent condition, some minor curbing, from a couple of meters aways they look spotless, tyres are in excellent condition and I also got another spare tyre (exc alloy) chucked in with it so i'd say I got a fairly decent deal!

Cheers!

Great find.

Here you go

Nice car in your pic TommyH, are they also the Aero wheels you have? I just bought some the other day in good condition with really good condition tyres, how much are these actually worth?

Edit: How much have you lowered the car on them wheels?

Hi, I've got an IS200 in grey, I've put on a front lip, grille, HID kit and the IS200 sport alloys, the 6 spoke ones, I think they're called Aero wheels? These aren't on the car on the photo below by the way.

Anyway how much can I lower it by on the 18's without it scraping? If it makes any difference it's the Sports Navigator version, don't know if the suspension is different on these?

Thanks for your help, pic of the car is below.

I have a 51 plate Is200 with a sat nav and need to connect my Pioneer stereo with the sat nav still working. I have bought an ISO cable with the connections to connect to the amp and Fargo's box but I'm still very confused!

I removed the glove compartment and found the amp but couldn't seem to remove it. I've got the following pics, could anyone please tell me which points connect where? Thanks
