Hi,

I have my IS200 Sport that I had bought early 2014 and had parked for about 6 months then started driving it recently. Its got a lot of "roll" and over humps or any cracks on the road etc it swings sideways- more to the right? would that be caused by the bushes or is that normal for this car? Its making it quite uncomfortable to drive and I've been trying to find solutions to it. Had the rear bushes replaced a few days ago but it seems to be quite worse now? I appreciate any help or advice you could offer. Thanks!

That's not normal. By 'swings sideways' do you mean roll or a pull on the steering? Either way, it's not normal. Mine has minimal roll and tracks straight and true. Get it checked over.

Such a late reply I know but it was the tracking that needed doing. Had tried it previously but the adjustments had not worked till I searched for specific ones on the IS200/300 facebook pages. 

Hi, I know this is an older post but have many people done this conversion successfully? I have my IS200 sport and this is exactly what I wanna do to it. What are the costs and how much work and time is put into it?

Is200.Hi, has anyone any links for upgraded bushes or uprated springs (not lowering springs) to help stiffen up the handling and reduce roll on my is200? What have you used on yours? I dont want to lower the car just improve the handling.

Hi,

I was just going to ask why you don't want to lower it? The standard set up makes it sit so high especially at the back.

I had mine on Eibachs and it still looked to high at the back before i went to coilovers which are amazing and I wish I had done that years ago. Mine is more comfortable than the standard set up.

If you want to improve handling the best upgrade would the anti roll bars, you will really notice the difference. I went with Eibach again and that cuts a lot of the roll.

Mine now has Meister R coilovers, Eibach Anti roll bars, Eibach spacers front and rear and a front Cusco second hand strut brace and it drives and feels and looks great.

Hi, I'm quite new to the Lexus club, have an IS200 Sport I bought recently. I have a few problems I just need some help with. Firstly, when I'm driving over speed humps the rear tyres slide and I can feel the steering adjusting with the wheels? I was thinking maybe its the wheel alignment that needs checking and the tracking?

Secondly the cigarette lighter was working fine the first few days then it stopped working when I tried to use a tyre compressor (I think 12v). I replaced the fuse (15amp) and it still doesn't work, would anyone know how to get it working again ?

I've also bought some CCFL angel eyes to install on it and i'm planning on doing that in the next few days, any tips or ways to install them correctly and ensure the headlight enclosure doesn't fog/mist up? Thanks
