is the optional Eibach lowering kit (from lexus) the same as the pro kit that everyone uses? on their website, they claim a 1" drop (which is the same as the pro kit). thanks

 

Where did you see that Lexus is selling Eibachs for the IS?

 

www.lexus.ca
(then go build and price, and go under personalized items, it is listed as lowering springs)

 

AFAIK, they are the same.

 

Sorry I didn't notice you're from Canada. That's interesting, coz Eibach springs are not available from Lexus here in the US.

 

Yes they are - Sewell and many other dealerships sell them.

Will they install them? If so how much? would thy warranty them?

 

They would install them, and the price would probably depend on the dealer. They would also have to warranty them because they sell them from Lexus themselves.

 

Are these springs the same as our sport suspensions' springs??

 

No. The Sport suspension springs sit 10mm lower in the front than the OEM suspension setup, while the Eibachs give a 1 inch drop from the OEM suspension.

What I meant was Eibach lowering springs available right from the Canada Lexus website as an accessory when you use their "Build your own" feature, then going to "Personalize your Lexus"

In the US website it's not there. Unlike the Dual Sport exhaust from HKS which is available in both the Canada and US websites.

 

The dealer I spoke to mentioned that they would charge 804cad to install the springs and that is exactly what the website quotes.

I want to get the springs installed but dont want to spend that much. I will only go to the dealer if I cannot find a better alternative.

 

^ if it's included in warranty then it's worth paying more for peace of mind.. at least to me.

 

From what i can see the dealer is charging a $300+ premium from other shops which is obviously not worth it.

 

I just have it dropped, basically they charge $375CAD for the spring and $429CAD for the work itself.

up to now no noise not AFS light, look great so far.

the handling is pretty good
