Hey guys,

Last week I purchase an is250 RWD. I was wondering what type of springs I should purchase.

I had Tein S springs for my Scion tc and it was so uncomfortable, loud and it would scrape everywhere ( I now hate lowering cars ). However, I still think that the is250 is a bit too high, and I want to eventually buy spacers and new rims, for all that to look nice it has to be a LITTLE bit lower.

What do you guys recommend? Doesn't matter what price, I just want something comfortable, and a recommended lowering amount.

I was personally looking at these :
Any recommendations and opinions will help!

Thanks!

I have an 08 RWD IS and installed Eibach springs w/stock shocks. Ride didnt suffer and only lowered about 1 1/2". My stock shocks are still good but I have only 43K on the car. Springs were installed w/less than 10K on the car.

Swift springs

I would recommend the H&R Sport Springs. I had them on my old BMW 3 series and loved them. I just bought a set for my 2012 IS 250, but haven't had them installed yet. I have heard a lot of good things about the H&R Sport Springs for the Lexus IS as well.

If price doesn't matter why not buy coilover? I had tein s tech before and it wasn't bad at all for comfort. Just a little stiffer than my sport suspension and i regret it so now I changed to bc coilover and feels like I'm riding on a cloud lol its awesome!

^^^^^This i got h&r no problems but have been wanting coilovers. Priorities changed ... before yours change just get BC coilovers with swift springs.

Yeah like everyone mention. Get Coilovers. Do it right the first time. I had Swift Springs and the ride was okay. The thing is i want it with no fender gap. So I upgraded to coils. The ride is much comfortable and can go as low as i want or as high as i want. When people get new wheels. It's always a big factor to have coilovers just for heigh adjustment wither it rubs or not. Thats the benifit of coilovers.

I hear that ride suffers a bit since almost all coilovers use metal upper mounts whereas stock is rubber. I am actually considering a set of HKS hipermax IV. Curious to know how the upper mounts affect the ride. I have stock suspension currenly, non-sport.
