The ride quality isn't that bad, a little more firm than stock. My only gripe is that on broken pavement, not potholes, but some California highways have individual breaks evenly spaced the ride is really rough. The stock suspension didn't handle these type of roads that well either and the Eibachs make you feel it even more. My 330Ci did not have this problem but it seems the IS350 is more bouncy on these types of roads.

Probably more bouncy because the shocks dont match the springs. It looks damn good though.

First of all your car looks great. I want to know did you purchased the 1" Pro kit or the 1.4" Sport line kit.

I have the Pro Kit. I don't think Eibach has the Sport line available yet. I don't know if they are planning to produce that.

Actually even the stock suspension was rough over certain types of roads. The Eibachs aren't really bouncy.

I have a question for you viet. You said the front drop is 1' and the back is 0.8", but I just checked for the eibach pro-kit available for the IS 250/350 and the stated drop is 1.4" front and 1.0" back. Just want to know if thats the same kit you have before I do any purchasing.

the is250 is 1.4 front 1.0 rear

the is350 is 1.0 front .8 rear

its different, cause i guess the 250 is higher than the 350.

go checkout their website

You had a great deal bro. I know a lot of people paying that much just for the installation to have the springs put on only.
