Making things clear: GS430 2006 Aftermarket Springs fit 2IS??
I am looking into getting a set of springs for my IS350.
The Only problem(concern) I have is, I have Sports Pakage, so Eibach kit would not do anything to the car, since it is based on Luxury Pakage (.5 inch difference between lux. and sprt. ).
So, I am looking into Tanabe DF210 serise. It drops about 2.0 inches on front and 1.8 on rear on GS430. So, people, let me know if I can go with this Springs or not..
thanks..
Here are some current shots with stock suspension.
(Element114 L1 Wheels: 3 pcs, 19 x 8.5 /32, 245/35/19 ; 19 x 10 /45, 275/30/19)

I am putting on the Tanabe DF210 springs tomorrow on my IS250 AWD. I'll let you know if I run into any problems. For extra help call Bob Baker Lexus and ask for Ed the parts manager. He has a IS350 and is running the Tanabe DF210 on his car. He knows a lot about the IS and is a good guy to deal with.

Yes, the GS lowering springs do fit the IS. I used Tein s-techs on mine. Me and my brother actually did the front of the car ourselves. i can honestly tell you unless you like working on your car you're better off paying someone to do it. its well worth the money.

what type of drop does the Eibach offer on non-sport iS350s? I also thought that the sport suspension was the same as the Regular... except for the Springs.
Anyway, I would not buy the GS430 springs. The car weighs a lot more, esp in the front. So you would not be as low int the front.

I just ordered a set of Tanabe DF210 for 2006 GS300 from Bob Barker's Lexus.
Ed is the guy you should go for. Gave me a good price on them also, helped me on 3 day shipping too. Aggressive drop, but without any problems.
I will post pictures when it is on the vehicle.
Thanks

Cousin's car:
He has it dropped on DF210s as well as my other cousin. Looks like it fits very well. The guy's car you see, he told me to cut on of the dead springs in the front to make it lower in the front so its even with the rear... or rather the wheel gap isnt the same as the rear.
