One is the shocks, other is ebiach, and last is from sewell

What are the difference between these 3? I thought there was only 1 f sport springs?

Thanks.

First one is the F Sport Shock & F Sport Spring.
Second one is Eibach springs. (NOT F Sport)
Third one is F Sport springs.

^What would the fsport shock and spring do that the normal f sport springs cant? Is the Eibach better than Fsport ? I was thinking whether to buy local or 238 at sewell thanks

If you buy just F Sport springs you would remove your stock springs (by compressing them) and put the F Sport springs over your stock struts. The gentleman you are reffering to is selling the full F Sport strut/spring setup so it would be a direct swap in. I'm sure the advantage is that the F Sport shock has better ride quality than the stock IS ones.

I would look into H&R springs before you consider Eibach. A lot of people are pleased with theirs.

Regarding springs, what is the difference between the Eibach and the F-Sport (by Eibach) springs in terms of spring rates/height? Are the F-Sports simply repackaged standard Eibach springs?

F Sport springs is actually made by Eibach with Lexus specification.
1 front, 0.8 rear.

Eibach has 2 version:
IS250: 1.4 front, 1 rear
IS350: 1 front, 0.8 rear.

F Sport shocks are GREAT SHOCKS made by Bilstein. This set is tuned to work best with the F Sport springs. The whole combo will give you lovely handling: smooth as button on daily driving and great handling when you push hard.

I have one Eibach IS250 on IS250 and F Sport on IS350 I actually like the handling in IS350 (F Sport spring + F Sport shocks) much more.

^ cheapest for fsport and shocks are about 600? Also they lower 1 front 0.8 rear? My driveway is steep. Lol not sure if I can make it up.

I have 114k miles on my car and I have only replaced the springs with H&R springs but still have the original shocks. Do you think it is time to replace the shocks? If so which do you guys recommend?

This is one of the many reasons why I pick F Sport over others which could be lower because I can drive up my steep driveway without problem. There are also tons of potholes in Southern CA roads and the springs are fine so far.

F Sport shocks because it is quality shocks made by Bilstein, tuned by Lexus to work well on IS, and it will last a long time.

Im at 109k km Also wondering when to switch the shocks.

Ill probably get the H&R springs. Vancouver roads are good. No potholes. Only thing you have to worry about is speedbumps. H&r springs dont even look that low should be able to get over speed bumps easily. Anyone have problems with speedbumps for the H&R springs?
