The Is250 Suspension Thread!

What would be the best coilovers for the 2012/2013 is350f for everyday drive?

thanks

[LEX51S]

Every day probably BC V2 not V1.

v2 has a larger master cylinder giving better control and comfort over the v1

[mr kay]

That's my car with Road Magnets. They are cheap for what they are but if you have the extra cash, you are better off getting the BC's. The 2" drop isn't very much.

[LEXASS]

ok i want to spend around $3000 and hopefully thats installed. so im guessing they wouldnt be anymore then that??

thanks for the replies

[quockies]

BC Racing V2 coil overs can be picked up for $1300 + install (200 - 400) or do it your self

[Fanel]

I can put a plus one vote to the BC Racing V2 coilovers they are great and surprisingly comfortable for coilovers

[LEXASS]

Thanks Guys

Spent 2 days of research and procrastinating on how to install then... got off my ass and installed my coi lovers... I shoudnt of have been a tight ass and gotten the BC Racing V2 instead of V1 but I am still happy with them. Much easier to install than just springs...

Before - OEM Sports Suspension

After - I havent adjusted the height as yet - going to let them settle for a week but already happy how they sit. Only adjusted the damper... the factory setting was just a bit too hard

Front - It dropped another 1/2-1 cm after a drive

Rear

OEM Sports Suspension - Front vs BC Racing V1

Stock Rear OEM Sports Suspension VS BC Racing V1

[LEXASS]

[ilv1004s]

KWs are better @ 3K+

but bang for buck

BC u cant go wrong

i have a set for sale

if your after bc's

[LEXASS]

how old are they?

And what do you want for them?

[MR2QIK]

Aren't your BC's for an ISF Danny? Or are they interchangeable between ISF/350/250?

[d_porkypine]

^^ the coilovers are interchangeable between all the models

[MR2QIK]

Oh I see. The BC's for the ISF just have different springs & are valved differently.

[quockies]

I've had my BC's in for 4 days now and love them.... I havent adjusted the height as yet as I want the springs to settle first but still playing with the dampers.... but I think I got them right now and will put all the boot panels back in this weekend....

The only thing I hate is Melbourne CBD carparks..... not friendly to lowered cars....

Hi Quockies,

May I know how much you paid for your BCs, where you got it from and how much it cost you to install them? Thanks!

hey mate,

I paid $1150 for the BC Racing V1 but if I could do it again, I wouldnt be a tight ass and gone the V2 for $1300. Picked them up from https://www.justjap.com/ including delivery (courier).

It costed me 3-4 hours of my time to install (Socket set, breaker bar, impact wrench, jack stands & jack) them otherwise you can get them installed for about $200-$400 depending on where and who.

When you say V2 do you mean this one?

Anyone here got Megan EZ coilovers? Well priced & the spring rates seem nice & soft. Good reviews on ClubLexus.

Most likely yes. If I were to get BC's, those would be the ones. BR.

Thanks for your reply.

Would you know if the height for BR Type RS Series be adjusted higher than your current ride height? It looks too aggressive to me. Doesn't say on their site the height range. was hoping to lower my rear by approx 1.5" and front 1".

[OzBoy]

Thanks for your reply's looking at these or KW's, still doing my homework. Cheers.

Hey mate,

Yeah they can, I left my coils as they were shipped to me however I can wind them up a inch or lower them about another 3/4 inch. This would be the same with the BR Type as well

Cheers
