if memory serves me right the X uses the Sports suspension out of the 2005-2009 on the serise 1 IS250' after seeing a number of X in our club and comparing them to stock height X vs Sports vs Sports lux vs Presteige the X and the Sports were virtually same height not noticeable unless you put them next to each other (X vs Presteige) and no im not talking about the X's in the later serise 3 this test was done way back when the X's first came out Thank-you for your help. There is a car on the previous page that is also silver & has the exact ride height that I'm after. It's owned by "Che_Ryan If you happen to be on the forum or if anyone else knows what setup has been used I would be very grateful to know. Many Thanks to "RotorRian" & "ilv1004s"

Thanks for your reply, I don't want to go crazy low at all. The 2007 IS250X had lowered suspension standard. They are nothing like the height of the newer "X" model. I don't want deep dish rims just something nice in a 19 Inch, As far as the lowering goes I just want it level front & back with the guards sitting just off the tyres. I'm not going for massively wider wheels. Maybe 1/2 Inch to an inch wider maximum. I will post a few photos tomorrow. Thanks for your help. The writing below is from Wikipedia - Lexus introduced a new badge into its lineup in 2007 – a new "X-Package" which was introduced into a number of countries. In the Australian market, it was introduced to celebrate the sale of the 5000th IS 250 in Australia.[69] The IS 250 X came standard with: sport tuned suspension, exclusive 18-inch alloy five-spoke wheels, premium Mark Levinson 14 speaker stereo, moonroof, satellite navigation, illuminated scuff plates, rear camera and sports pedals, and a front lip spoiler.[69] The "X" also came in 3 colors: Onyx Black, Vermillion Red and Metallic Silver.[69] In order to retain the "exclusive" image, only 260 were released in the 2007 calendar year. The pricing started at A$64,390 for the 6-speed manual and rose toA$66,990 for the 6-speed semi-automatic.[69]

I have had the car since new, & while there is no difference between the new "X" models of today & any other IS250 in terms of ride height, in 2007 there was. Many Thanks to iIv1004s..

Hi there everyone, I have an original Lexus IS250X, which is an Australian delivery. The first "X" modelthan someone was limited to 250 units, came with 18" wheels & had factory lowered suspension. My question is, Do I need to order different height springs compared to someone who gets lowered springs for a standard IS250? When I have compared the standard IS250 ride height with the ride height of my IS250X the difference is quite considerate.

Hi there everyone, I am new to the forum and need some advice on which (If any) springs to buy for a 2007 IS250X. As you would all know it came out with 18 Inch wheels and factory Sports Suspension. The problem I have is plenty of places stock lowered springs for the IS250 but as my IS250X came lowered as standard I have no idea who to ask or where to go? Many of the places I have asked have said "If it's already lowered I doubt these springs will make it any lower." Whilst the ride height is reasonable and looks better than stock it definately still needs to come down as I now have 19 Inch rims. It probably needs 1.5 - 2 Inches lower at the front & 2-2.5 Inches lower at the rear. If this has been discussed before I sincerely apologise but I searched and read all I could find on lowered springs. I couldn't find anything about lowering the 2007 IS250X more than factory. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best Wishes to all, Junior.

Hi all, Everyone calls me Junior as I'm named after my dad which doesn't bother me at all, he is a great man. I have a 2007, Lexus IS250X that I've had since brand new. It has the paddle shifters (Which they probably all have) It's just out of warranty and time to make some modifications. Currently only done 40,000KM. I'm glad to be in the company of so many knowledgeable & passionate people. Thank-you.
