Some 19s with a drop looks very nice, if you opt for a little deep-dish for the rear wheels it'll look uber-hot!!

Are you sure you want to lower the AWD? If you plan to keep the car long-term, this WILL cause drivetrain issues. If it's just a lease or short term ownership < 3 years, go ahead and do it! Same goes for if your rims will be a staggered setup. But congrats on picking up a GREAT car!

^lowering your car can cause problems! tearing of the bushings and few other things that I dont know LOL...

but yeah if you wanna lower the lexus JUST DON't DO IT TOO EXTREME! Stock lexus looks n drives VERY nicely! Why would you wanna lower it EVEN LOWER.. (the stock height is quite low IMO)?

oh yeah Congrats on the IS250!! did you get the AWD or RWD?
any pics???

Check with Lexus first.
Make sure they do not void your warranty. These beast's are very expensive to fix.
