smooth1 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Get Eibach. I would get Tenabe's if your going with coilovers, but if your just going to get lower springs, then get Eibachs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX-SV Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I've had Eibach 350's (same as Lexus F-sport lowering springs) on my IS350 for nearly 3 years with good results. Ride quality is still fairly good, handling slightly improved, and looks greatly improved. You will need to research availabilty of these springs for AWD via Eibach or Lexus.

LEX-SV Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 reyoasian - Did you decide on springs for the IS awd yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reyoasian Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Yeah put on H&R Eibach were never tested on AWD and not guaranteed as front shocks on AWD and RWD are different Only ones tested and confirmed were H&R, FSport, Tanabe, Road Magnet, Megan. Probably next summer I'll put on some BC coils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEX-SV Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 ^ Still running the H&Rs on your AWD 250? How's ride and handling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IZZY350 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hey LEX-SV, How do you like your Eibach's? I am thinking of getting those as well. How does it affect the ride? The drop looks great. How much did you pay to have them installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX-SV Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 For those interested in maintaining decent ride quality, Eibach is a good choice for about 1" of lowering. Some deterioration in ride quality should be expected with any lowering springs or coilovers. Expect to pay between $500-$600 total for springs, installation, alignment via experienced high end shop (depending on location). I feel it's worth having it done right.The H&Rs will be another nearly half inch lower but at what cost to ride quality?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
