Anyone have word on the AWD? Mine looks more like a 4x4 and I can't wait to drop it.

Everyone seems concerned about how much drop a set of springs has but no mention of spring rates? You should be more concerned about the spring rates and if the stock shocks/struts will be compatible. Just dropping a car with no reagards to spring rate and dampening is a sure ticket to screwing up the handling. I know low looks better but do some home work and save yourself some headaches.

 

I just called H&R, it is still under RND.
which means... we have to wait...

 

Many aftermarket springs are simply called "lowering springs", HR being one that sells these. In other words, you lose travel and have equal or less spring rate. Usually this is not a good thing. I have a friend that actually went out and measured spring rates on a BMW 850, stock vs. CSI (//M if you will) vs. H&R. The rear H&R's were at a lower rate than stock!!! Yikes. Lowered cars were bottoming out without cutting the bumstops and adding some spring pads. Problem is most companies won't give you that information.

 

Relax guys. The car is too new to have many parts for it. Wait a bit longer and you shall see a lot of aftermarket company will have parts for the new IS.

 

When you guys with the sport package buy new springs let me know, I will put a bid on your Sport package springs.

Although, I may not be able to install it... since my GFs family complains about the IS being too rough

Although, its a lot softer than my 3000GT(with Eibachs and KYBs).

 

We have developed the new FLT-A2's for the I250 and IS350 RWD only. You may contact Carson Toyota or TM Engineering on price and ordering.

The spring rates are 12k front and 8k rear. Basically it will ride like stock BUT, it handles like it's on rails.
