Thanks so much for your time again and letting us prototype our springs on your IS500, we really appreciate it 🙏
Thank YOU! You guys rock!
Hi, Can you tell us the spring rates? Whats the stock rate and how much more are these?
Thank you
Congrats! The car looks great, I'll live vicariously through your build. 😀 Think I'm stopping at the TOM's air filter and PS4S tires. Can't wait to see what's next!
Thank you! I'm not going to overdo it either. :)
Really looking forward to more videos. I'm seriously considering buying an IS500 in the next couple weeks.
Thanks, that means a lot to me. I think you should buy one! Of course, I'm biased.
Thank you for being a tester for the swift springs!!
YW! It was my pleasure working with those guys.
Thanks, I enjoyed watching
Thank you so much
Awesome, subscribed as I contemplate future poor financial decisions 😁
You should upload a 0-60 using this method... Sport s+ mode, manual shift it so it can rev to 7300, make sure the A/C is off, keep traction control on, keep left foot on the brake and blip throttle to 1000 rpm or so to "tighten up" the drivetrain and then launch at 800 rpm.
the fastest ive gotten on is500 was 4.56
Looks great
Thank you LR!
It's gem. Last of its kind
That USB looks great!!! I have cloudburst and looking to lower mine when I get a daily driver
Thank you Tim! appreciate you!
thank you for the video! i just bought a 23 and want to do the same on mine. How are the springs holding up? How do you feel about them after 10 or so months?
Reversing into a spot or onto a steeper driveway, watch the lower exhaust tips. Have a light scrape on one of my lower tips from a steeper driveway. Probably much worse if there’s passengers and cargo.
Looks good though and thanks for sharing.
It never even occurred to me that the exhaust tips could be scraped. Thanks for the warning!!
@@V8Brah neither did I...then I heard it. lol
Nice!
Interesting. I’m debating this so bad.
It's crazy bro I can't explain how jealous I am lol but honestly nd I'm not throwing shade, you drive like my pops bro 🤣🤣 I think I saw a prius pass you😂
Hahahah all good. Thanks for watching
Can you do a review of the springs? Is it stiffer, not much change...
Any update since the spring has settled? Just ordered mine and wanted to see how big is the difference.. like you, I don't wanna loose that OEM feeling neither
They never really settled. It looks the same as the day it was installed.
Nice car! I have the same USB on black IS500
Great minds think alike! Any mods planned?
@@V8Brah I have the APEXi full catback exhaust. That’s going to be it.
@@3on4off Solid choice!
Nice way to cheap out on your suspension. Has to be the most important mods on a vehicle.
How about the body roll with Swift Springs? Is it reduced since the center of the gravity has been lowered?
Nice
I'm interested in the rims, what make are they. I want to replace the black rims that came with car.
How are the springs at high speeds? I had H&Rs in my Acura that felt a little more bouncy at fwy speeds, that and scrapping are what’s holding me back from putting them on my IS.
They're better at high speeds than stock for sure. Ride quality is indistinguishable, and no scraping. It's only a 1" drop.
Hows the front end of it when you get on it. I noticed that when you get on it the nose of the car raises quite a bit and it squats hard. Like if the oem springs are just a bit too soft for this car.
There's less lift because the spring rate is stiffer which prevents counter-torque from extending the front springs as much. Swift told me it's 7-8 kg/mm Front and 14 kg/mm Rear. Stock is 3.7 kg/mm F and 8 kg/mm R.
its been some time now , hows are the springs holding up . Wanting these for my 500. Debating on these and the eibach pro -kit.
Did the back lower they same amount compared to the front
Does anyone know where to get the 4IS 350 f sports carbon fiber hood??
Wish I could find one in this blue or the red. And every one I see has white seats. I don’t trust myself with a white interior lol
What the cost of normal service intervals?
I have a atomic silver 2023, the problem I have is air whitening noise from rear driver side. Do you happen to have similar issue ?
I never noticed any air noises from the car, but the next time I'm not driving (that's rare) I'll try to check!
Are you about to change the exhaust? Also did you buy this with your own build from the website? The dealers are charging way over msrp right now
I requested this color from the dealership but didn't build it from the website. Regarding an exhaust, you'll have to stay tuned to find out!
@@V8Brah that’s wassup, man I want to buy one, but I’m hesitant if they have one more update on the interior like they have done on the ES and RX. I might just pull the trigger soon.
@@s.k4471 I honestly don't think they'll update the interior. Lexus tends to hang onto things forever.
@@V8Brah that’s true. Until i get mines, I’ll live through you 😂
Some dealers are selling at MSRP. I got mine at MSRP from the dealer in Beverly Hills (of all places) . . .
Apex is an install shop ?
I need those springs asap
When are they coming out
I like the lowered look not slammed and this looks perfect.
I had swift on my 2018 is300 and they ride good
hey quick question! do you feel any jerking at slow speed when approaching a stop sign? mine does that and it's really annoying, when transmission shifts from 5th to third gear it gives that rough downshift feel
Yeah the transmission is a little jerky at certain times. I've heard that's normal for this car.
transmission is jerky on IS500, especially if you are in sport+ mode, then it gets super jerky cuz its trying to give you that sports feel. Not as jerky in ECO mode
Ya mines a bit clunky at slow speeds, that's the price you pay for a bullet proof drive train with this level of performance.
Update?
Put some GREASE on those tires.
Will make it pop more
A washing and tire dressing is due. Probably after I get an alignment.
Any info on spring rates? Do they work with the AVS?
I don't know the actual spring rates but Swift told me they'd be branded as Spec-R and if you look at their Lexus product page their Spec-R for GS F and RC F tends to have a slightly higher spring rates compared to their other products. Yes they work with AVS!
Would the lowering spring constantly compress the shocks?
In theory, yeah. However this is a very very minor drop so it's not as detrimental as some setups.
I’m waiting on mine still. 😢
It will be worth it...
@@V8Brah 🙏 praying for that call.
Needs more low bruhh 😂
but bruhhhhhhh
Installed these on my 2024 500 and they suck! Nothing close to oem feel. Save your money for better springs or coilovers. Suspension won’t stiffen in any mode and they are no where close to spec spring rates.
Moar videos!!! 😤
Year?
2022
Are the tire size staggered ?
235 F 265 R
@@V8Brahlooks good man. I’m deciding between this or the is350 f sport.
