Default Anyone buy H&R Sport springs for the IS250??

Well I looking for a good set of springs to install on my IS. I want a pretty even drop. I'm kind of in between H&R and Eibach springs. Why isnt H&R that popular on this site?? Also H&R doesnt have the IS250 listed on their website. Do you think I can use the IS350 springs on my IS250?

H&R:
Front 1.4
Rear 1.3

Eibach:
Front 1.4
Rear 1.0

I know the bimmer guys use H&R springs a coil for their cars.

Anyone buy the H&R Springs for the IS? Any pics??

Yeah I know. I'm thinking about picking these up.

I just want to know why H&R's arent that popular on these forums. I think H&R's would be better than Eibach's.

here are some pictures i found on a japanese is forum website...
you can find some nice rides on this forum
i would choose them over eibach because the stance in my opinion (from pictures) looks more aggressive and even, comfort wise i don't know
if u do get these let us know how they feel

stock vs rsr...

Is RSR the same as H&R?

My cousin had RSR springs and they cracked on him, so just based on that experience I wouldn't get RSR's.

H&R is a Euro brand. I have them on my NSX and love them, I'm researching experiences with it on the IS350 as I'm trying to choose between them and the Eibachs.

Same here I'm between both Eibachs and H&R. I'm kind of leaning towards H&R because it has a more even drop.

Let me know who you decide to go with!
