On of the local San Jose area CL members has these springs of his IS250, he highly recommends them. I spoke to him a few months ago at a local hand car wash in Santa Clara.

I really like the look, it was a nice clean drop. Everything fits well, no noises, not rubbing. I am thinking about dropping the rear tire profile from 40 to 35. The gap in the rear is less than 1 finger and I think I would like it to be a little bigger to match the front. I am still debating this one though.

I just install the Tein S Tech springs, 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers, and the F-Sport Rear Sway (need to take pics and post) today. The install went well thanks to the DIY on here and the Lexus Technical information I grabbed from the Toyota tech site. All-in-all, it took about 5 hours mainly because I kept taking breaks and was had not air tools and was using only jackstands.

Give us your road test feedback (ride and handling) after a couple hundred miles.

F-sport springs installed at the dealer. The Front has about two fingers gap and the rear about one finger gap. Look very good with subtle drop. The ride seems a lot less harsher than my previous Lexus sports springs. The only thing I haven't noticed improve is handling, probably because I haven't take this baby on freeway yet.
