Niick

haha no cheating, just the drop! As i mentioned in the other thread im looking at getting custom made king springs so i can achieve the drop i want. Only thing im worried about is the standard shocks stuffing up prematurely which is why i really should get coilovers.

hahhaha the wonders of photoshop!

Nice work mate!!! The wheels look great!!! (Can't wait to see how the drop sets it off). Wish ya could crank the contrast up a bit on the pic so I could see the rubber from the drive!! I imagine that the width looks mean!! :D

i filled up shortly after and took a photo, didnt get a chance to upload it till now................ cough hahahahaha

What i mean is... the springs with the lowest drop rate would be the ones mentioned by ilv1004s above. The rest are around 1.5" max. I just found out that King Springs will make a custom set of springs for $50 (i.e. choose your own spring rate and drop) This is what im probably going to go for as i am after a 2" or more drop from standard :D

Quick photo! Not bad quality for a mobile huh?

Axis decades :) 9.5 rear and 8 front Fender gap will be gone sooon! (It is on a dead empty tank though!)

Nice to see your interested in the IS250! I have the Prestige with the enhancement pack and could not be happier! As far as i know the trip computer has Trip A and Trip B and the odometer, it is located in the middle below the speedo and tacho. Is this an important thing to you? My best suggestion is to spend a bit of time to drive down to one of the dealerships and have a look at the car for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

Hey Niick, Have you washed ya car yet?? We want to see the pics?? I would like to see how the 275s look from a road shot up!! Melbourne's weather has been shiiiiit lately lol. Seeing as the weekends coming i think i will do it very soon. Ill make sure to take low rear shot :) What profile tyres are you thinking of? Ive got 19's with 30 and 35 profile tyres. The only difference i have noticed is when going over sharp bumps or potholes (which i try to aviod), its a little harsher but nothing major. Despite what other people say, lowering will not make a huge difference to ride quality if you get a decent set of springs and don't slam it way too much on the 20's, if your thinking of coilovers, thats a different matter. In the last two weeks my mate with a VE commodore got super low king springs compressed and my other friend with a 300E Mercedes got his standard springs compressed (hes on 20's with 30 profile tyres). The VE has standard rubber and the difference is not significant enough worry about, it corners better but! As for the merc, the difference is very minimal as well. If your worried about road noise, then get a decent set of shoes. Ive got Nankang Ultra Sport III and although they aren't the most expensive tyres they perform surprisingly well. They are only two examples though and may not apply in all cases. Your best bet would be to have a chat to a suspension or wheel and tyre joint and they will tell you whatever you need to know.

i want angel eyes but cbf with the idea of baking the headlights in the oven to heat the glue. hav u seen those coloured scatter leds for headlights?

Rooof racks!!! hahahah

Hi ldc, I've currently got 18s on mine, and yes, I do feel that it needs to be lowered. Especially if your wheels don't have an "oem" type look, it needs the drop to make it look complete. The larger you go, the more that the car looks like a boat with out the drop!! I would have to say, my guard is about 2" approx above the rubber. Too high in my opinion. I agree with what he said :D If your rims are too wide, u can get the guards rolled, which doesn't cost too much. If your rims rub on the plastic in the wheel arches then just use a heatgun on the area its rubbing and mould it. :)

1. LDC - Sydney, NSW. 2. ProjectIS - Sydney, NSW. 3. Cevu - Sydney, NSW 4. Bluey - Adelaide, SA 5. korvan - Melbourne, VIC 6. Niick - Melbourne (eastern suburbs), Vic

Anyone know anything about this? Like how much it costs? GTautosound in S.A

nice ideas korvan and one without the silhouette outline : remember, the finished product will be alot smoother and higher res, but we still have a long way to go... Any more ideas on the actual design itself?

:D

Thanks for making the new topic :) I can make a transparent background on both these stickers so that only the text and logo print and no white background. We need more ideas though! Ill stuff around with designs on photoshop until then.

Often I see a white IS slammed on what look like 18's or 19's on Lygon st. Anyone here own it? Can we get this pinned?

I got the car tinted at Melbourne Lexus, bit expensive, just under $500 from memory. It looks great though! I got some funny marks on the top of the tint where it rubs when you close the window, lexus said they were happy to re-tint to fix the marks which is good! Ill take some photos when i wash the car.

235/30/19 on front and 275/35/19 on the rears... They are wide! ahaha ill get some pics as soon as its washed!

Heres another one, dunno if i like it though. Remember that the final product will be alot smoother lol. Maybe we should make a new topic specifically for the sticker so we can focus on other thingss to keep the is250 thread alive?

Hey Niick, Im definately down with the group buy for springs!! What did you have in mind?? I thought your car was already lowered!! (and drastically at that!) Unfortunately not! I was very close to buying some from the states but changed my mind last minute and lost interest. I want to get them again though! Only thing is i want a decent drop and the lowest i can go with springs is 1.5" from factory. So i might just cut the factory springs... JOKING! My options would be to get a set compressed, be happy with a 1.5" drop or fork out for some coilovers. Any thoughts?

I need some ideas guys, you mean something simple like this? Or do you want outlines of the car in it? different logo? font? make sure u check with the admin first i guess.

free exhaust systems...? i like the idea of meets, but we need more melbourne members. Overrides, tech tips and all that also sound good, ive got a fair bit to add from things that ive experienced with the is. Im good at graphic design if anyone wants some ideas for a sticker. Just tell me what you want on it.

Goood to see theres a few is250 modifiers out there. Anyone interested in doing a group order of springs, intake or exhaust. Ill post some pics up soon of my is with dished 19's
