Default Eibach springs for IS250 on an IS350?

Anyone have the Eibach springs for IS250 on an IS350? I've heard this is okay to do, and the front drops a bit more than the IS350 Eibach kit.

Post up some side view pics if you have them!!

Assuming this is possible, which I think it is from reading other threads, couldnt you just theoretically look at the IS250s using the same springs and see the same thing as a 350 w/250 springs?

Just get some H&R springs.

It has a more even drop than the eibachs anyways. Think the H&R springs are better than the eibachs.

the eibachs leave the *** end too high for the 250 drop.

I thought the suspensions were different between the two models, which led to Eibach making a 250 Pro-Kit and a 350 Pro-Kit. I would assume if everything was the same between the IS250 and IS350, Eibach would have only make 1 set of springs that fit both cars.

The spec IS250 drop is 1.4/1.0 and the spec IS350 drop is 1.0/0.8 (f/r).

Given this, how would the 250 kit leave the rear too high? Maybe I'm not following you?

^ It's compared to the front. I like more even drops (H&R) but the lower spring rate of Eibach.

The front is dropped almost 1/2'' more than the R.

^ On a stock car, the front is like 1/2" more than the rear though.

ANyone have any pics?

Is there any possible future detriment if you run the 250 Eibachs on the IS350 car?

looks fine to me..i got em because the drop was lower





these last two pics are taken very low so you can see more of a gap..in reality you can barely fit 1 finger in each wheel well.
