Interested in purchasing some springs and I'm torn between the eibach prokit for the is350 or the Tein H-tech. I know the eibach lowers the front/rear 1.0 and .8 inches and the htech lowers the car 1.0/.6 F/R. I also noticed the average price for the eibach prokit 235-250 and the teins are around 165-185

For those of you who have them installed, can you post some pics? I have a 2008 is350 and i've seen pics of the 350 with the 350 eibach kit which is what I am after, looking for that one or one and a half finger gap. I want a nice stock ride but want to get rid of the nasty gap, but I don't want to look like a 4x4 either. Thanks in advance!

From what I've seen, the h-techs give a nice drop in the rear, but the front appears to ride high...

U tell me... Im on Tein H-techs.









i love the ride of the springs... far better than the Eibach prokit i had before.

i will be running the stock 18's rims and tires. Relexin, how many fingers gap do you have? looks to be about 1 to 1.5 fingers.... and will the fender gap between the 250awd and 350 be the same or are they different? Nice set up btw

not to be partial (okay, so maybe i am)...

why not go w/ the s-techs, unless they are too low for you?

just my $0.02...

I thought about them, but my wife would kill me......I have a 91 mr2 turbo with h&r springs/koni shocks with trd sways and that sucker is stiff. Also my youngest daughter gets car sick and a stiff car wouldn't help. Well, heres a question to those who have s-tech....how much stiffer is the ride with s-tech's? Thanks!

Great pics - just a bit high in the front for my taste..

sorry to sound stupid, but would the gap be different with 19's compared to stock 18's? I know it also depends on the tires used. I see people who have 19's use 225/35 in front which is 5mm bigger than stock, so would that make a big difference visually? Since5oh, how many finger(s) gap do you have with your setup?

thanks!

gap in the front is about 1.5 inches...rear is about 1 inch.

Thanks Since5oh, I'm looking for a 1 finger gap all around which is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch gap. Looks like i'm going to go with the tein S-tech or eibach pro kits, Javy LSU measured his before and after gap for the is350 prokit and even though eibach claims 1.0 inch front and .8 inch in the rear. it's actually 1.25 inch in front and a little over an inch in the back after they settle. i'll post pics soon

well guys, after researching and trying to decide between the Eibach prokits for the 350, tein H-tech and S-techs. I narrowed it down to the Eibachs and tein s-techs. I decided the H-techs were just a bit too subtle. Then it was down to the eibachs and Tein s-techs. After a coin flip.....I'm getting the s-techs. i'll post pics in a few weeks

ReLexin, that is one of THE nicest 250awd I've seen here on CL . I'm going with those H-techs as soon as I get my tax return $$

Hey since5oh, what sizes are your tires, are they all the same size or are the rears bigger?
