You can get some KYB shocks from Buypartsby.
I got a set of front shocks for my IS200 for £120 (including vat & del).
cheers will have a look!

Hi & Welcome,
You could go for TTE springs they are about £150 from Lexus dealers (even cheaper with Gold discount) and are a 30mm drop. I think they may be the same spring as the Eibach ones you are talking about but not 100% sure.
I used them and am really pleased with the look and the way the car feels now.
As my IS was so high before the drop I thought the ride would become much more harder but it was not, infact it was pretty much the same. I did notice though it was crashy over bad roads but that I can live with.
I also fitted new KYB OEM replacement shocks with the springs as old one had too many miles on them.

Cheers. So would I just phone a Lexus dealer and ask if they can supply that part?
Yeah I could live with it being a bit stiffer over bumpy roads, just dont want the ride to suffer massively by lowering it, or I wouldnt bother.
Will prob need to get some new shocks soon, as car has done about 70k. Where would I get the KYB OEM shocks?

Hi Everyone,
I have had my Lexus IS200 for a couple of months now and I am finally starting to get used to it! So its time to do some modding...
I have just bought some new 17" alloys and tyres so want to lower the car a bit because its a bit high. I would love to get a full suspension kit, or coilovers, but I have a wedding coming up next year so there is no way the missus will allow me to spend that sort of money. If I just buy springs I am sure she wont notice!
Anyway whats the the best sort of drop so that the ride and comfort still stays decent. I just want to lower it a bit, I aint looking at slamming it. I dropped my Honda Civic 50mm with Cobra Springs and the ride was pretty bouncy and it was bad over pot holes and bumps. Looked great though!
I was looking at the Apex Springs with a 35mm drop. Good price and they get decent reviews...any thoughts? I would like to get Eibachs however the price is a bit high at £200. The Apex are like £90 cheaper. Also seen V-Maxxx, GMax, Spax etc Just not too sure what to get.
Any advice from users who have fitted any springs would be appreciated
Thanks!
Ryan
