IS200's rein!!
-
You can import Cusco ARB's from Japan
-
Not sure on this, maybe better off asking in the 2nd generation IS section.
-
I'm up for a meet, I organise regular meets with an IS200 group
-
Eibach are the best out of your shortlist. Apex 35mm are another good option.
-
Contact a dealer (Toyota) or scrap yard They are the best 2 places you can try.
-
The mounts are the same :)
-
Where has the option gone to edit signature? Can't seem to find it anywhere.. Thanks
-
Anything up to 35mm can be fitted with standard shocks and perform as they should without additional stress. So yes the Eibach springs will be perfect with standard shocks.
-
Eibach are top of the range, as well as H&R springs which are 35mm but they go for over £250. Tein are a bit pointless as they wont make much of a difference in drop on a Sport model which is already lowered 15mm compared to other models. Haven't heard of anyone using SPax to be honest I have Apex 35mm which can be coupled with standard shocks, the ride height is great, handling improved and as comfortable as standard. Anything over 35mm drop and you will find it near impossible to buy shocks that can be coupled, although a lot of people just throw 50mm springs on standard shocks which is not a good thing to do.

ECU Remapping will it improve fuel consumption?
Dinho replied to grindersrus's topic in Lexus IS200 / Lexus IS300 Club
They can be remapped but it won't work as the ECU is self learning so will revert back to how it was. Try some cataclean, use with quarter of a tank and drive until empty then refill. It may help. It cleared a p0420 code and helped my fuel economy. Short trips wont be good for MPG -
get in touch with `patrick, he is the man for the cradles
-
Yep I would get it aligned for peace of mind, especially as you have bought new tyres.
-
front and rear spring what else fits?
Dinho replied to my is200 sport's topic in Brakes & Suspension
Have a look on eBay Tein Apex H&R Eibach Only problem with Tein is there is less of a drop. The rest have 35mm drops which makes the car feel a bit tighter in corners and looks lower but not too low if comfort is your thing then 35mm drop will be perfect. I'm using 35mm Apex -
I know an owner who has made one set and may possibly start making them to order but will be expensive. Where about are you from because we have regular meets, good bunch us
-
Turbo you can get more power if desired Turbo = Lag Supercharger easier to fit,decent power return and no lag Supercharger is also cheaper to DIY build. You won't find much help doing a DIY turbo.
-
I refurbished my wheels, but it does take a lot of time and effort, in total it took my a month as I am not very into bodywork etc. In Birmingham there is a place that will do your wheels £20 - £30 a wheel depending on what you want done which is a steal!
-
IS300 is a good choice of a car, strong engine that will last. If you like auto then it's hard to go wrong with this
-
If I could afford one I would upgrade to this, can't beat this car in my opinion!
-
If anyone offers you £200 for them take the offer, as 90% of owners know they arent good wheels.
-
I believe they will, you will most likely have to make and mdf bracket. There is a thread about it on here somewhere. If you buy them tell them that they have mis advertised, they are 150W Max not 1500W
