What Springs Should I use for my IS 250 AWD?
Hi,
I'm Gonna lowered my IS 250 AWD... BUt I don't have any Idea about the other brands of lowering springs besides H&R... Are there any alternative besides H&R springs that you guys can think about for my 250 AWD?
And then, is it gonna be the same between the springs for RWD and the springs for AWD?
THanks

A lot of people have complained about bad vibrations using lowering springs on the AWD cars.
Just be aware.
If you really want to lower an AWD the best way is usally to spend a little more and get a nice set of coilovers. Right now BCR is the only company wit hthe AWD coilovers available. PM us uf you want more info or pricing.

I just put some BC coilovers on my car I also drive a IS250 AWD and I know what you mean by vibrations...
Does anyone know what makes it vibrate like that? At first I thought it was my axles or something but no its not none of that...

What's the technical or mechanical reason for the problem?

Ive heard that it changes the angle of the driveshaft or somthing which could cause it. Nobody really has a solid explanation though. But I do know there are a bunch of others with the problem after lowering.

Thats the answer i been looking for it makes alot of since now... You think it'll damage anything? Do you know anyone else that lowered it and damaged it?

It's not possible to change the angle of the driveshafts with lowering. You will change the axle angle going into the differentials, but the driveshafts are solidly mounted to the car along with the differentials. They do not move with the suspension at all.

If you leave it lowered would it damage anything? Now as you said earlier it changes the angle of the axle going into the differentials would that have any affects on the differentials or would it only damage the axles if it even damages anything? Is there after market axles you can buy to fix the problem or is there anyway to keep the car lowered and not have that problem? Sorry for asking all this questions its just I've never heard something going bad after lowering it all my cars I've owned I've lowered and never had a problem...
