I am looking at dropping my is350 with a spring set up and i want to know what would be the lowest drop without cutting the coils to get it lower? I have been looking at tons of pics, but everyone's threads are different and i dont know if they cut the coils or not.

Could members please post a pic of the car with the springs used and the ride quality?

 

a lot of people go with the tanabe nf210's, as they would like to keep their suspension as close to factory as possible, but the drop is only mild. other's go with the tanabe df210's for a bigger drop, but you can definitely feel the difference in suspension

 

All spring options for 2IS, besides Sprint, can't find their specs

For me, I have H&R Sport Springs, got them at a very good price, and I love the ride and the look. Ride is stiffer without sways or new shocks, but it's not annoying.

 

Check up above in the Suspension and Brakes section.

Thanks Stonefan52 for the feedback on the new springs and the concise listing of choices.

 

Stonefan52 Im on megans and my best friend is on tein were on the same size rims and Im significantly lower than him and the ride quality is still there for the most part

 

It could be the rear, because the Megans sit lower than the S-Techs. The order I based off of the numbers, and the numbers I pulled from their websites.

Did you have the cut the bumpstop for the megans?

 

No i didn't cut the bump stops I looked on the DIY in the suspension forum but couldnt get a clear enough picture or idea of how much to cut and since I did it by myself and never had any experience with it I just did it without cutting anything and it worked out just fine after 10+ hours and multiple busted knuckles and frustration i had a nicely lowered car

 

Arent the megan's with the most drop? beyond that H & R seem good ?

 

hmm i had S-Techs and sport shocks.. and it's fine.. not too bad

 

The megans have a significant drop.. Ill have my car back tomorrow Ill take some new pictures and repost them

 

Thank you what happend with your car? ps: guys can you look at my thread im about to make a purchase need help thx....

 

I got hit behind the rear door it wasn't bad but I just didn't like looking at it anymore and took car of some imperfections nothing crazy I'm pretty happy with my springs they dropped nicely

 

S-Techs FTW.

 

Here are a few pictures of my car dropped on megan springs
