• LEXUS IS300 GETS BC RA...
We are finally lowering one of the IS300's. Soda bought a set of BC Racing BR coilovers for it and the new look of the car is soooo insane. We ended up going way too low with it originally but after a few tries we got the fitment perfect!

😂 damn working on the ground sucks but glad we got that done Cuase that was so worth it! Funny stuff. Get them coils on boi
Imma have to get on that!
yoooo my friend helped me put on my BC's just last week. Theyre so amazing. Like I will take the car out just to joy ride lol
Honestly feels so nice compared to stock suspension! I don't blame you lol
what model did you guys get, i have a is200 and budget is a big thing so obviously i’m looking at the cheapest but what do you suggest and why
@@clov3zz860 the first ones I got were truhart coilovers for my first IS and they were about 600. From what I have heard BCs and Fortune are the usual pics for the IS but they're more expensive. If you find something in between 600-1200 you would be good but you get what you pay for. Idk what your budget is but if you're able to, save up for some BCs if youre willing
@@optimusprimus89 that’s the plan i think, just save for some BC, everyone recommends them and honestly there not too bad so i guess i shall save a bit longe f
@@clov3zz860 itll be worth it cuz you know you got something good. 😁
Mine are coming in tomorrow for my black is300…. I can’t wait bro!
Hell yeah bro! Gonna drive so nice now!
First time viewer and subscriber here. Damm I have bc sitting here for a yr waiting to install. Every where in Washington Chara shit ton of money to put in.
Hey! Thanks for watching! Yeah I'm sure shops would charge a good amount to put em on. Hope you find somewhere to do it, they change everything!
I would love to lower mine, but I like not scrapping of everything 😂 and having some clearance
Honestly I feel it lol surprisingly tho just getting rid of the wheel gap didn't really get rid of all his ground clearance. Going that low in the rx7 I would scrape HARD on my driveway when even with skirts the is300 didn't even touch!
Irvin Ortega definitely thinking about it, but gunna do TRD front lip and side skirts with exhaust first 🔥
@@Bellgrande did you end up changing your exhaust? if so what did you change to and how did it sound?
@@Quantummmm I did Greddy RS exhaust, I liked it a lot.
Irvin Ortega ! I I’m from queens New York I enjoy your videos I love is300’s keep doing that !! Bless I would like to see your car with a 2jz gte step by step
I appreciate that! If I play my cards right you should be getting that 😎
Being his DD, How did he like the ride? I'm thinking of going with the Swift spring upgrade.
They were ok, I preferred the fortune auto's I got as the ride was less harsh even tho the spring rate was higher. That being said, much better than stock
Cool, thanks!
@RotaryDaddy which fortune auto's did you have? 500 Series?
@@TheFlyingHernie I’m running the 500’s with 16k front springs and 12k rear and it’s amazing
@@RotaryDaddy with the stock Fortune Auto Coils? You didn't upgrade to Swift?
Yo those are nice wheels! What’s the specs on them and for the tires?
I'm not quite sure off the top of my head but you can dm soda on instagram, he should know! 🤘
Did you guys happen to purchase the extreme drop ?
Nope these are the regular ones and we still could drop a bit more if we wanted! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@RotaryDaddy thank you bro! Gonna make the purchase now 👌🏾
uhh I wish my onyx black paint was good they look so much better clean. damn previous owners!!! Cool videos though I've enjoyed them and they helped me a ton with the timing belt change.
Good paint is getting harder and harder to find on these cars, it's a shame! Thanks! Glad I've been able to help!
What spring rates are the coilovers ?
They come normally with a 12k front and 10k rear 🤘🏼🤘🏼
What exhaust on that clean black is 300?
Would love a pair😍😍
Me too lol I'm super jealous after driving it 😂
Quick question bro on my 2004 is300 my tire size is 235/40 with 18 inch rim. And a 30 offset. It is already poking a little at stock. Can I get coilovers or will it just create a disaster because it is already poking?
Really need to know wheel width to be sure. A little bit of poke at factory height is OK because when you lower it you'll get a bit of negative camber and suck the wheels in a bit but if you plan on running 0 camber you won't be able to get away with it.
@@RotaryDaddy thanks yeah I will measure today and keep doing some research.
Yo bro what front bumper is that or is it just a lip?
Stock bumper with like a 60$ ebay lip 🤘🏼🤘🏼 for the silver one
@@RotaryDaddy i seen u changed to a new bumper now, but that old lip actually looks clean rather than the standard greddy lip, where can i get one?
@@caribbeankids6907 hold up, we talking about the black is? Lol the black is had stock bumper with a blitz style lip, then we replaced it with the hks style duraflex bumper
@@RotaryDaddy thanks bro appreciate. Im building one rn, kinda fell in love with yours tbh😅😍 super underrated IS.
@@RotaryDaddy also did you cut the rear bumper to make it shorter? Looks great makes the car side profile look a lot cleaner with out the bulky rear end and then thin front
im subscriber 789!
So you're the reason 6 is afraid of 7...🤔
Did you pre set the coils before installing em?? 🤣🤣
Preload is set from factory, we adjusted ride height
Don't use impact guns! Come on use a torque wrench.
We literally used a torque wrench multiple times in this video?
Nope, torque wrench only on the lug nuts. Lower strut bolt on front left used the green impact gun. Ever single bolt you removed has a troque value and should be torqued to that spec.
Tight is tight, don't worry about it
This video would have been perfect if not for all the swearing. Is your vocabulary so short.
