I get asked if those wheels came on the car alot too.

They're Enkei wheels. At least there's an Enkei logo behind one of the spokes.
They are OEM upgrade Lexus wheels. The "G-Spider" wheels I believe. They are an option on the IS250/350.
They're +45 offset.

I had to take them to a machine shop to mill out the hub surface to fit the honda hub.

Here are some pics of my FA5 on Eibach pro-kits. It isn't very clean. It's winter in MA and I don't have any other pics.

soxfan143 · 01-17-2008, 12:48 AM

Ooops I forgot to shrink them down. Sorry guys, I'm new at this crap.

Before Progress Sport Springs...HFP Suspension

Progress Sport Springs Installed...

ok, so let me say that I am VERY IMPRESSED with this product! I was worried that the ride would be bouncy, but it's NOT AT ALL! It gave the car a very nice drop, plus it still has to settle, which will mean more drop...I have the HFP Suspension and just swapped the springs out...I can firmly say that the ride on Progress is 100% better than the HFP springs, much stiffer, just a better feel all together. Before we put the springs on I could place 2 fingers in between fender well and the top of my stock tires, now i can barely get 1 finger in there and i have to angle it to get it in there, so tires are tucked just a bit...I CANNOT WAIT FOR SPRING TO GET HERE SO I CAN THROW MY 18's BACK ON!!! With the settling that is yet to come those 18's are gonna make the car look SO SEXY!!!

***Also, with just replacing the springs from the HFP Suspension, NO camber kit was needed***

I RECOMMEND THESE SPRINGS TO ALL OF YOU!!!

I am on Progress springs with HFP shocks setup and agree that they feel better than the HFP springs. Furthermore the drop is just right. But these progress spings creaked whenever I turned the wheels either to the right or left. Its more pronounced when negotiating bends+ramps in carparks (at around 5-10mph). No problem on straights though. It seems like the springs were chafing against the spring seat or something. Is it only me?

02SilverSiHB · 02-02-2008, 12:33 PM

I haven't heard any noises at all with my progress springs.

when you took off your HFP springs, did you remove the little rubber piece from the bottom of the springs and put it on the bottom of the Progress Springs? That would very well be your issue...

slicknick · 02-02-2008, 02:19 PM

For people with stock suspension and just swapped springs...

Did you feel a ride diff? Might go back to stock and just get springs

I have HFP now and its' pretty bouncy

ThaJazz · 02-02-2008, 02:26 PM

My sedan's HFP setup doesn't bounce. I might consider the Progress springs, but I don't want any noise from them.

slicknick · 02-02-2008, 02:30 PM

^what wheels are on your sedan?

don't go back to stock shocks!!! Leave the HFP shocks on there and just replace the springs, the Progress are pretty stiff ride, no bounce...

I def felt a difference in the ride, way better!
