Default Tein High Tech Lowering Springs
Anyone have this set-up on their ISF?

If you do, how do you like it?

I have this setup and have no complaints. It is def smoother and idk why but at times I feel its bouncier than stock. Gives the F a perfect drop as it closes the front gap perfectly.

I have them and have been very happy with them. Improved ride and a really nice stance. Just make sure you have a good alignment as I can't seem to dial mine in yet to not have inner tire wear.

Search and you'll find plenty of good reading on the Teins as well as comparisons against other springs.

Search "tein" though..."tien" won't get you anything.

That's just the current bid. Not the actual selling price...

I saw that on ebay, and that is why I was asking for a review on them. I didnt pull the trigger, and will wait until my lexus cert warranty is up.

At that time i might just go with Coilovers.

That ended up being the selling price. I was the only bidder.
