I am in the same boat as you but I think I'm going to wait for TEIN to release coilovers for the AWD. But a lot of people like Cathafer and Chickenboy use the springs off of the IS350 and do not seem to have problems.

Tanabe NF210, GF210 etc. Do a search for these members.

Well I emailed Tanabe regarding springs for the 250AWD and here is the reply that I recieved.




Thank you for your interest in Tanabe performance products!



We will be collecting official lowering data and fitment for the following part numbers:



TDF112 – DF210 Lowering Spring for 06+ GS300/GS430

TNF112 – NF210 Lowering Spring for 06+ GS300/GS430

TNF113 – NF210 Lowering Spring for 06+ Lexus IS350



We may add these as official applications for the IS250 in the future, as we will be testing these within the next several weeks.



Since all of these vehicles share the same chassis, all of the springs are interchangeable on the IS250 RWD and IS250 AWD with many end users on the www.clublexus.com using them on their IS250 AWD models. The amount of lowering varies with each part number.



TDF112 – Most aggressive lowering – preliminary data shows ~2.15” drop, a highly performance based ride, while remaining comfortable

TNF112 – Conservative lowering – preliminary data shows ~1.3” drop, with higher spring rate for a more performance based feel

TNF113 – Conservative lowering – preliminary data is similar to lowering data for the IS350 ~ 1.5”, rides similar to factory suspension
