ReLexin,Tein doesn't make springs for an AWD but you have them installed in yours.
Any issues now or difficulty with install.
Also,how much drop on the H-techs.
I'm interested in getting H-Techs but don't want more than an inch drop.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yea. No company except of Roadmagnet has directly came out and said for AWD. But all springs for the 2genIS are interchangable. The install wasn't difficult the mechanic said, just like any other install. The front drop is 1" and the rear is .6" drop. No issues so far, nice and smooth and no vibrations.

Thanks.
A few more questions please.
You do have Tein H-Techs?
I don't know anything about Roadmagnet.
Do you need a 4 wheel alignment with the install?
If you can remember,is the ride close to stock or better?

Yes the Tein H-tech sit a little higher that the Eibach prokit for the IS250. the Eibachs are a rough ride in my opinion. The eibachs definitly took hard turns better. But im not a race car driver so it doesn't matter to me.

How long for springs to settle?
So the ride is softer than stock?


Thanks!!
Looks like I may be ordering them from somewhere.

Thanks ReLexin for the additional pics. The Tein H-techs look like a perfect choice for me. Smooth ride + a modest drop + no harsh suspension = priceless

Thumbs up H-Tech here too...

H-Techs are cool. I've been riding on them for over a year and have about 13k miles on them. i have the x-package (sport suspension) and didn't notice a difference in ride quality when i switched to H-Tech & 19's. sometimes i wish they sit tad lower in the front, but the height is perfect for my everyday use.

sounds like HTechs drop a little lower than Eibachs on the IS350s, yet the ride is softer. htechs 1/.6 eibachs 1/.5
