I have an AWD and just lowered it with the Eibach is250 springs. its pretty low. for 2k you can get a pretty nice set of 19"s with tires. heres a pic of my IS250AWD lowered on my 20"s.

By the way..... Welcome to ClubLexus. Nice to have another AWD owner!!!!

I have an 07 fully loaded. I used Road Magnet Springs that gave it a 2" drop. The awd is taller than the standard 250-350. They were the only manufacturer to make springs for the awd.

I ended up with 19" Vellano VSM 3 piece wheels with stagered lips but still the same width and tire size of 235/35/19's. Wheels and tires ran about 4k.

Yo NW did you just get the springs right on the site of road magnet that are like $260 or did you order custom springs from them.
