Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This coilover kit is specifically designed for Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) models including:
- Lexus IS 250 / IS350 RWD 2nd Gen (2006-2013)
- Lexus IS F RWD (2008-2013)
- Lexus GS300 / GS350 RWD (2007-2011)

*It is crucial to confirm your vehicle's drivetrain is RWD, as this kit is not compatible with AWD models.*
Setup: Installation involves replacing the factory suspension components with the provided front and rear complete coilovers. Ensure all mounting hardware is tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. The height adjustment is managed by threading the spring perch and shock body. Use the included torque wrench for precise adjustments to the spring preload (recommended 7-10mm) and desired ride height (1'' to 3'' lowering). It is highly recommended to have suspension components installed by a qualified mechanic to ensure proper alignment and safety.
Care: To maintain performance and appearance, regularly inspect the coilovers for any signs of damage, corrosion, or leaks. Clean the components periodically with a mild soap and water solution, avoiding high-pressure washing directly on seals. Ensure adjustment collars remain free of dirt and debris to allow for future height modifications. Check that all hardware remains securely tightened.
