Are you unhappy with the Tanabe? I'm ready to order springs and was going to get Eibach until I did some reading. Most seem to use Tanabe so I thought I'd go with the flow

- I would give Eibach a try. The set I used treated me quite well.
- Most people used Tanabe because they thought that Eibach wouldn't work and I'm sure more people would use Eibach if they knew that it worked.

I didn't want to be the tester of the Eibach so I am going to order the Tanabe. With the AWD the Tanabe seem to be the choice of most. So as I say, go with the flow

- you're not the tester, Nodnarb has already had Eibach springs on his car.

I have springs from Road Magnet on my IS and I love'em. I'm local and I see Mark the owner all the time. I can def vouch for the quality.

It is a shame they do not reply e-mails.. I went with the Tanabe DF210's.....

Well MrMark has been good to me, helping me out a lot. I'll take your word (Apex 84). I'm going to talk to MrMark about these springs.

I Just recieved my Road Magnet springs today. They responded to all my emails very promptly and the quality looks to very very good. They were designed for the awd is250.

any pics of AWD dropped with Road Magnets?
Im just worried about the quality of it since its not a company I've heard of before. Also, a 2inch drop is a lot...especially when you need to drive it during winter eh?

edwardll

Your right, 2 inch is a lot.. You might want to stick with the Tanabes that are .8 drop.. which to me is like, WTF THATS IT?? lol...

NW, Can you post some picture of your car with the springs install'd.. thanks

Road Magnet has been making springs for over 100yrs for various applications, so if you have any worries trust me when I say they know what they're doing.

I'm pretty sure Road Magnet has springs for an 1" 1/2 drop also.

josephlee

hahaha, same thing, any pics?

I dont wanna get Tanabe's cuz its not an even drop (lower in the rear).

Really hope more companies really make specific springs for AWD so theres more choices.

NWIS250AWD

I will post pics once installed.

There is a reason the roadmagnets are a 2" drop as the AWD sits higher than the rwd.

Stock specs
Overall height: 56.1 in (RWD)
56.7 in (IS 250 AWD)
