ISFBloke Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hello All, I am thinking about upgrading the ride quality on my 08 F and just saw these on the net: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COILOVER-SUSP-KIT-LEXUS-IS250-IS350-IS-F-ISF-IS300-/150358382387?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3ALexus&hash=item23020ed733&vxp=mtr Anyone seen/tested these before? If so how do they compare to the KW v3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilv1004s Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I guess depends what you define as good For comfort yes they are far more comfortable Handling there is improvement but not significant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilv1004s Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Also if your isf is my11+ then bcs wont much difference other than height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tengleo2 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I guess depends what you define as good For comfort yes they are far more comfortable Handling there is improvement but not significant Hi Danny, I got a 08 IS-F, I find the ride are too stiff especially at the rear, Iam looking to get BC BR Coilovers do you know what spring rate i should be getting ? 10kg/8kg or the 12kg/10kg ? What I want is comfortable ride through the bad Sydney streets like Parra rd... if i can transform the ride to be similar to Normal IS sports luxury that will be great for daily drive.... I dont want everyone inside feeling everything the car drive through on the road and slow way down on any humps.... Thanks in advance :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tengleo2 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Danny you mention you had BC Coils before what rate was it ? 10/8 ? and was it a lot less bouncy compare to the stock ? I talked to BC Racing guy, he said they can custom make 12/10 for me, will take around 10 days. My main concern is, I want the ride to be soft similar to IS Sports luxury, but since IS-F is abt 200kg heavier, will the 10/8 spring be too soft for the IS-F ? and affect the cornering too much. has anyone using 10/8 spring rate for their IS-F ?
