Default New to Club Lexus* Need Advice for coilovers!!!!!

I have a 2007 is250 awd and I wanted to hear some opinions about certain coilovers I should use. Leave me a comment on which are a best choice to buy . Had my mine set on BC coilovers but looking at other brands also . Can't wait to buy coilovers to slap on my Volks TE37

Welcome! I would start here and do some research https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...nd-brakes-198/

I've had BC's on 3 of my cars.....they are great for the money.

Just remember you won't be able to slam it because you have AWD. Check the suspension subforums

Ya honestly from what I've seen, the guys that are AWD all go with air because there's just too many problems with coilovers for these cars. Maybe it's just that I have yet to seen low static AWD 2IS's

I was on springs, when I was on 20s and 19s the uneven drop from springs was OK but since I decided to switch to 18s the gap in front was ridic which made me goto coils. I still gotta make some minor height adjustments BC it's getting annoying scraping driving slower etc
