I installed Road Magnet springs on my 2010 and 2011 IS250 rwd with no problems, i used the Tein rubber silencers on them and they had no clunking issues.

Hello Everyone! My name is Brandon and I work for Road Magnet Performance Springs. I thought I would jump on here and introduce myself. If anyone has any questions please feel free to let me know. You can always email me at brandon@roadmagnet.com also! The Lexus IS springs are definitely one of our top springs!

the road magnets look like they have NO wheel fender gap, is that correct? LIkewise been seeing that AWD's have that clanking noise, is that the same for the RWD's? toHn you're car looks amazing!

Yes, we minimized as much wheel gap as possible without sacrificing the ride quality! I have had one customer with a 2011 AWD call me a month or so ago with the clanking noise issue, to my knowledge and the last that I heard the customer bought rubber sleeves for the springs and I haven't heard any issues so far. If this continues to be an issue we will resolve it and/or re manufacture the spring itself!

thanks and i did not have any problems with my AFS light on either of my IS's that i installed Road Magnet springs..i highly recommend their springs to anyone wanting to go low and on a budget..as for the clunking noises, i bought 4 packs of Tein rubber spring silencers and installed when the springs were 1st put on. the silencers cost about $5 per pack. I bought them from Option Auto Salon.

-as for the bump stop, i think my mechanic cut anywhere between 3/4 to 1/2 off..i was there when he did the install but did not pay much attention when he was cutting them. I beleive the springs come with instructions on cutting the bump stops.

does it require fender mods after lowering it with stock wheels? will it scratch the tires when making sharp turns or making a U turns?
