Default Coilovers

I am looking at coilovers for my ISC, I was looking at Tein and Raceland, however neither one of them can confirm that their products for the IS250 will work on the convertible. I am curious if it is because of the extra weight of the top? Has anyone used either of these brands with their ISC?

Hello!

Sorry for the late reply, but it will fit. I am using sedan BC coilovers on my ISC and it is a direct bolt on. I do suggest changing the spring rates though to compensate for the heavier weight. I kept the stock sedan BC springs on the coils and it rides well still. Hope this helps!
