Default AWD on H&R awd springs and F-sport awd shocks?

I'm getting ready to drop my 06 IS250 awd. Modding slowly as I've had it for almost 2 years now. I didn't want to spend the money on coilovers and new the stock shocks wouldnt last long with new springs so I held off. I like the drop on the H&R AWD springs better than the F-sports, but will they work with the new F-sport shocks for the AWD? Or are the specs on these only for the F-sport springs? I've searched to no avail. Any insight would be appreciated

there are F-Sport shocks for AWD. from the brochure.

PTR13-53091 Left Front IS250 AWD
PTR13-53090 Right Front IS250 AWD
PTR13-53092 Rear IS250 AWD

i believe people have used H&R with F-Sport shocks for RWD, or at least have mentioned this as a viable combo, so i'm guessing it should work for AWD. IMO i think it'll be ok, but hopefully others can give you a more definite answer.

thats what i thought before i checked sewells site but they show them for the 2IS but not the 3GS. weird cuz my BCR's are labeled IS250

anyway, why not just get coils? the money you spend on springs and fsport shocks, you'll be pretty close to a set of coils.

Fsport shocks are made by Bilstien. Don't pay the extra money for th Fsport name. Call up Bilstien and ask what shocks they recommend on your car.
