Default Will IS250 struts work in an IS350?

Hi, I'm planning to buy a set of H&R lowering springs on OEM IS250 struts and the problem is my car is 350. I wonder if this will be a direct install or I have to swap the springs onto my car's struts. I read somewhere that 350 shock is longer than 250? Is this true? Please help, thanks

Using the Megan coilovers listings as a reference, they do say for the IS250 (RWD) and IS350 (RWD).

Your car doesn't have struts, it has shocks.

That said, the OEM part is the same on both cars (assuming both came with the same suspension from the factory ie sport vs. sport or not)

For example from sewell for an 08 250:
4851080257
ABSORBER ASSY, SHOCK, FRONT RH MARK 48510-53110,SPORT PACKAGE&TIRE & DISC WHEEL-225/40R18+255/40R18,SUMMER TIRE,ALUMI REAR-WHEEL DRIVE (RWD)

For an 08 350:
4851080257
ABSORBER ASSY, SHOCK, FRONT RH MARK 48510-53110,SPORT PACKAGE&TIRE & DISC WHEEL-225/40R18+255/40R18,SUMMER TIRE,ALUMI

and


For an 08 250:
4851080360
ABSORBER ASSY, SHOCK, FRONT RH MARK 48510-53141 REAR-WHEEL DRIVE (RWD)

For an 08 350:
4851080360
ABSORBER ASSY, SHOCK, FRONT RH MARK 48510-53141

Thank you for your inputs. So with the extra weight for the IS350 I thought Lexus would use different shocks. In this case, I'll have the suspension installed this weekend, thanks again.
