i have a set of TEIN S-Techs on my IS250 and im kinda on the fence for selling them. i kind of do want to sell, but then i dont have enough money to buy coilovers yet. but the ride is nice. i have 19-in rims on mine (8.5, 9.5) with 215/35/19 and 235/35/19 and i dont rub. but i heard you can go up to 235/35 for the fronts and 255/35 for the rears and wont be rubbing.

unless your expectations are unreasonably high (or low - no pun intended), these should do just fine.

when i first got my s-techs put in, i was first worried that it wouldn't be low enough. but then when i saw how low it was, i was worried that it would be too low and that my alignment would suffer as such.

but i took some of the advice that other 2is owners gave (whether fact or fiction, letting the springs settle; four-wheel alignment), and i haven't had problems w/ my s-techs since the day i got them installed.

the pics were taken a half year after getting s-techs. in the pics i'm also on nitto invo's (not the sport maxx's), which i've found to have more upright sidewalls than the sport maxx's.

Thanks. No my expectations aren't that high I was just like you and thinking they wont be low enough and It wouldn't have the stance that I was looking for, but they look good, I can settle with those. Plus if I get 19's it will fill it in more.

Just to double check before I order them, that with the different spring rates and such these fit on the 250 correct with no problems? Just double checking before the purchase. Thanks.
