hmmm interesting. I just had my springs installed (w/ silencers) about a month ago. I don't notice a harsh clunk but I do hear something coming from the right rear during harsh bumps

i spoke with my service adviser today at lexus of westminster and he confirms that isc springs do fit on our 2is minus awd of course. the springs will be shipped sometime in the near future as soon as f-sport fully releases the "remade" springs for the 2is. as of right now all i know is the coiling is different. i will keep you guys updated as much as i can, he promised me the 1st set 
haha

Based on my experience, that makes a lot more sense especially if you have access to a experienced independent shop.
Trying to retain the advantages of the Lexus warranty related to these expensive F-Sport springs has had almost zero benefit for those experiencing clunking.

Not sure if it's bs or just ignorance, since the dealers don't specialize in this type of mod. The fact that the dealers can't provide a consistent answer with specific part numbers just shows poorly.
My guess is that if Eibach had this same problem earlier, they made the production changes a long time ago and purged their warehouse and distributors of the defective springs a long time ago.

it'd be nice if there were lots more people (in addition to IS-SV) here who are running eibach 350's so there would be a bigger sample size to see if eibachs are def clunk free...

I'll call the dealer mid week and see if there are any updates on the "revised spring." Once I learn more info, I'll post it.
