Bringing this from the dead cuz its very useful
info for us noobs lol..



toHn

 

This is great info for the Lexus noobs!!! Pictures of each spring setup would be awesome here. I've searched so much the past 3 weeks for springs and rims and tires and body kits and, and, and.... I've forgotten most of what I found..LOL

 

ok as a noob i have a question, isnt the rear suppose to drop more than the front? in the tein springs course info it states the front drops more than the rear o.o

 

Need some help with torque values for the front and rear struts. Im trying to screw the bolt back to the LCA, but I need to know how tight to do them.

 

How far can you drop before you need to replace the shocks? I had been thinking about he eibach pro kit for a 350. Per the numbers in this thread, that's 1" in the front and .8" in the back.

 

All, I am new to the lexus world. I just bought an 08 Is250 AWD. I want to drop the car and love the info available here. I am curious though, is there anything that I need to know with respect to AWD cars? I did not see the AWD on the Eibach website.

Thanks,

 

If you want to drop the AWD, i belive coilovers is your best bet. I think there are two kind of springs for the AWD, but heard they suck.

 

Anyone with an eibach on a IS250?

 

Is there anyone who can confirm that the IS250/350 RWD springs will fit the AWD?

 

Im only used to eibach, any of these brands better quality or comfort? I don't care about drop height as any will clear the wheel well gap

 

Right now I have the Tanabe NF210 springs and love the feel of the ride compared to stock. This is on an IS350 with 18" Lumarai rims.

 

Any moar reviews of Tein S-Techs?

 

Hey guys Am bout to buy some lowering springs for my 2008 IS250 and wasn't sure whether I should get the S Tech or the H Tech springs from Tein. Would anyone out there be willing to give me some advice or let me know what would look better. Currently just have the 18" stock rims on there, but later might get some 19" Vossen rims Thanks in advance!

 

Great thread.

 

I had s-techs, upgraded to coils, but the s-techs were good, no problems/squeaks, didn't notice any unevenness of th drop. Good springs, just depends on what height youre looking for

Mine are for sale too. Haha
