steviewevie This is one of my hobby horses, but I think discussing "drop" figures is meaningless in regard to the IS200, because there seem to be several different inital ride heights. So unless you know what the "drop" has been measured against, it doesn't mean anything, because it could result in a different drop on your car.
Early cars rode a *lot* higher than later ones. I measured the initial ride height of my 1999 Sport and it was higher than a later model, non-lowered, SE ! So a single set of springs might produce a drop of, say (making up numbers here) 40mm on my car but only 20mm on the later car.
Those "50mm" lowering springs in eBay might lower a later car 50mm, so might lower an earlier car say, 70mm !
Beware if you don't know what the final ride height will be (e.g. if you can't find someone with those springs on who can measure the ride height for you).
Yeah I know what you mean mate but seriously any drop would be a massive improvement on my car, just really want to do it without affecting the GEO although this is on the long long list aswell
40mm Lowering Springs, Re-sprayed Front, 6000K HID's, Re-furbed alloys, Bandit Induction Kit (cheers Chris), Raised boot spoiler with LED, Blue calipers with silver decals, De-badged rear, Chrome Oil Filler Cap (thanks to Chris again), White LED dash bulbs, Blue a/c control bulbs, Blue door markers and interior lights, Sony head unit, Chrome Lexus tax disc holder, TRD side skirts, Original Saloon Front Bumper re-fitted instead of Sportcross
