Default Lowering Suspension??

Dear fellow lexus owners, I'm wondering is there any company offers IS250AWD lowering springs or coilover?

Thanks for your input

peace

None yet. i posted this in LexusSara's other thread. tein is coming out with springs for the AWD probably midsummer. i got this info from tein myself. some people are here using the Tanabe DF210 springs from the GS430 and are having sucess swapping out to those. if its an absolute need, u might want to search do a search on those springs on the IS.

Many end users have installed the DF210's from the 06+ GS model on their IS with success. While we do not officially recognize this fitment, many end users have reported great results and ride quality. The TDF112 part number (DF210 for GS) greatly lowers the vehicle when compared to our IS specific NF210 spring.

The NF210's for the IS are available now, but sold out very quickly. We recommend contacting a ClubLexus vendor for availability.

The NF210 offers a reasonable drop, with ride quality similar to the Sport suspension package.

All of our springs provide an even drop, so the chassis is balanced and levelled. Fender gap is different for front and rear, but this is due to the way the wheel cutouts are placed. Having an even fender gap, while aesthetically pleasing, can actually negatively affect performance.

The GS and IS share the same chassis, which is why many have reported success with this "hybrid" fitment.
