Default Eibach Pro Kit for IS-F

Just ordered a set of springs for my F. Anyone else have these or plan on ordering these? It says that they will lower the car .7" in the front and .3" in the rear. If you have these already, please post your opinions about them.

I didn't even know there was an Eibach kit available for the F yet! I think I'm going to wait and see if a coilover set comes out on the market

When are they supposed to be in? Your going to have to post some pics!

Ordered the springs from a non-CL affiliated vendor (I don't think I can post the name). I just googled is-f springs and this was one of the sites (PM me if you want the name. Spoke to the rep over the phone to make sure that they were IS-F specific and he confirmed that they were. He did mention that they were JUST released. The springs will be in on Thursday. I'll try to post pics after the install.

Hopefully they won't make the ride any harsher than it already is. Please post a review when you get them installed...

Mods are starting to come out quick. In my opinion the rear drop is fine, I believe the front needs to be dropped. Anyway post up some pics after the install.

I am willing to sacrifice ride harshness if the body roll is improved. I still feel like my lowered IS350 on 19's cornered better than my F. I am also switching over my PIAA Super Rozza 19's over to the F. My biggest concern with the PIAA's was whether or not they would clear the front calipers. now I'm wondering if the offset in the rear will clear the fenders, especially now with the lowering springs. I do NOT want to resort to rolling fenders.

Hi guys, I have them installed on my F for a couple of weeks now. They do fit great and lower the car that amount. Now the cars ride perfect and looks like the way it should come from factory.






By the way my lowering kit was the 000001 coming out from eibach. Also the drop in performance filter.

Second time I've heard of a drop in filter for the IS-F. What brand did you order?
