You don't HAVE to right off the bat but toe wears tire just as much as negative camber.

Looking to replace my rear shocks with similar ride comfort. Found Tokico's on EBAY. I know OEMs are made by Tokicos. But how are Tokico HP Blues compare to OEM..rough ride or just the same as OE?

Default Tein S Tech question

I wish I joined clublexus before I bought my springs. So, I have a 2011 IS250 AWD. I dropped it with Tein S tech lowering springs with KYB shocks. My question is I just recently realized that the S techs (SKL90-AUB00) are for RWD am I going to have any issues when I engage AWD?

Default Eibach Springs IS250/350 Iterchangeable?

Just confirming if the IS250 Eibach Pro Kits fit IS350 without issues. I've contacted Eibach and said "it should" work. Wanted to get CL members opinion or actual experience..

The springs won't have any issues with AWD, RWD springs are able to be installed onto an AWD and vice versa. There are members here that installed Tanabe springs for a RWD onto an AWD as an example.

Eibach Pro Kit for the 250 will fit the 350.

Hey welcome to the forum!
When it comes to lowering springs, the drop is pretty conservative and you won't really notice camber/toe changes that will push them outside of alignment specs.
When it comes to "tire wear" it also depends on how you drive, road conditions and the type of tire as well. Again with something as simple as springs, you should be good!

I am in the market for coilovers

Have a 2010 IS250 RWD

I was looking at HSD HR and Megans....but that's only from my initial search.

Price is around the $1300 (canadian $$$) brand new, but do you guys have any other recommendations?

I basically want the option to drop very low and raise with ease (air ride is not an option), and i want the ride to hold the quality of the driving...bouncing around is not what i am hoping to experience after a few weeks on the coilovers.

Cheers all

Hi all,

This is an interesting discussion. I also on the market for aftermarket suspension, not because really want to lower my car, but I want to get more sporty, reliable hard cornering suspension. I learned from this video that coilover is better than lowering spring. Please see yourself:

I have IS250 AWD. Now my question, with many different brands of coilover, which one is better?
