50 mm mate seriously.....as said above you fit the springs and think to your self is that lower...

go 50!!

Yes your right mate, I wasn't really keen on changing the shocks to be honest. I was looking to buy these set of springs from eBay as I believe someone on this forum has bought these aswell.

Will it affect my ride quality?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to lower my car very soon as the back sits too high at the moment and it obviously doesn't look nice lol.

Can someone recommend me what springs to get? I'm looking for a 40mm drop but have also seen good feedback for the tte springs on here but it only gives a drop of 30mm. Has someone got any pics with their car on tte springs please?

Also would I need to change my standard shocks if I was to lower my car by 50mm? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LEXUS-IS200-TOYOTA-ALTEZZA-TENZO-LOWERING-SPRINGS-/370396625046?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item563d5bf896

ignore the above port. My mate was messing around lol.

i hate my lexus now that i know its a toyota, ohh i prefer a kia

Hi, can you get me Lexus IS200 sports springs (I think it's the TTE springs), if so how much?

Thanks in advance

6000k is the best HID kit to go for buddy, rest of the mods sound ace

I have had a look at Tommy's Lexus and that was a perfect example of what I want my Lexus to look like (with the mods I wish to carry out).

I have put the 6000k HID's based on John's reccomendation and must say it looks awesome :-)

Will post pics up later.

Hey Amz, welcome to the forum

http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...showtopic=63627

a bit down the page there you'll see the TTE front bar i've put on. this keeps a semi-factory look, but a bit more aggressive. also check out the TTE exhaust, you get the chrome tip, it sounds a teeny bit meatier than the OEM, and you don't lose MPG.

i couldn't decide myself whether i should put on new rims or not, so in the mean time i had mine painted Gunmetal. against a dark IS these look amazing.

what colour is yours?

Cheers

Leigh

Thanks Leigh.

I had a look at your car pics and I think it looks amazing!!!!! Great taste in kit! I would like to go for the TTE look too, can you give me a break down of how much the front bumper would cost me aswell as the exhaust system??? Also where can I get these kit from????

My car is Royal Sapphire Blue :D

If you are looking to keep the looks "standard" then get the 18inch lexus alloys.

Also tints really set the lexus off and the sports grille

Joe

Hey Joe, I absolutely forgot to mention the 'TINTS' in my to do list lol.

As it goes for the alloys, I wlll most likely opt for the Lexus alloys, but I'm not sure about the sports grille tbh. I personally like the original grille because of the chrome grille :)

Hey Bruce, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the sound of my Lexus, hence I wanted to put a SILENT cat back exhaust so that I can continue hearing the original sound. My ONLY reason for cat back exhaust was to make it slightly more responsive and also I love the look of the chrome tail pipe! But if you are saying that it will reduce the mpg with hardly any gains then I'd rather not touch any of the performance side.

Hello everyone,

I am a new user on this forum so please bare with me.

I have just recently bought an Lexus IS200 SE and am really happy with it. My only complaints are that it is very juicy on fuel and pretty slow on the low revs but picks up at 50mph and onwards.

I've read through the forum and understand that these are NOT exactly fast cars but are more of a luxury car and I completely agree :)

I am looking to do subtle mods on the exterior of the car aswell as on the performance.

For the exterior:

Lower it by 40mm

18" Alloy Wheels (not sure on the design yet)

Boot Lid Spoiler (that comes standard on a 'Sport' model)

HID Kit (8000K)

For the performance:

Induction Kit

Cat-Back Exhaust System

With the exterior, I have seen LOADS of Lexus on this forum with body kits etc and they do look nice but I wish to kind of keep the OEM look but with slight mods, and with the performance side I understand that there are superchargers etc but tbh I'm not exactly after super speed, I just want the car to be more responsive.

Can I please have everyone's opinions on this?

Thanks in advance
