I just got my IS350 a wk ago and im kinda new to it. Any suggestion for lowering springs that will give the same ride quality like a stock or atleast close to it?

Similar questions like mine about a month ago. Easier for you to search your answer. I'd say F-Sport or Tein High Tech? Or like CL members said save up for coils, Tein CS or SS would be it try searching, you can compare on your options by looking through them. I am really interested in F-Sport and Tein so I only do research and comparison between these two brands. lol. I'd go for F-Sport btw.

Id say the best looking drop is H&R.... never ridden on H&Rs before, but from what I hear, its a pretty comfy ride.

If you want F-Sport, I would wait a bit, because they are coming out with a revised version to solve the clunking issue. There is a thread in the suspension section with more info on that...

I reccomend TEIN S-Tech's in addition with Ichiba Ver. II Wheel Spacers [R: 20mm F:15mm]

save for coils, but if you must go springs, then i'd say h&r or tein's

welcome to CL and the 2is section.

there are quite a few aftermarket lowering spring applications for the 2is (see the suspension section). assuming you plan to match them to oem shocks you'll still be able to retain a ride quality relatively close to stock. please bear in mind that the lower the ride height of the springs, the farther you'll get from a stock-like ride quality.

slightly OT - and like other members have mentioned, you can also look into coilovers if your budget allows for it and you feel you need it. the upsides of coilovers are being able to adjust not only the ride height but also the shock dampening, and for certain brands you can also order custom-rate springs.

dont get Fsport (eibach is350) springs due to a very weak drop, if you must get springs rather than coils, H&R/Tein Stech/Eibach is250 springs would be my only choices.

First of all sorry guys, didnt know there was a thread for suspensions, kinda new here. But so far you guys are mentioning H&R or Tien. Thanks so much! I would really look into this. But as far as coilovers, i just can't afford it right now, maybe one day =/

Tein S-tech are nice. I'm rolling on S-techs with stock struts and F-sport sways. I did both of those at once, so I can't attest to which affected the drive more, but I'd wager the sways. The ride is nice, hardly any different than stock, and the fender gap is just right. I just don't see myself spending the money on coils for this car when I've got a project in the garage.

My vote would be S-techs, but I've heard nothing but good things about H&R too, so I don't think you can go wrong with either.

personally i like my eibach 250 springs on my 350. ride is comfy and its a decent drop on springs. but if you would like to go lower with springs try the h&r's they have a comfy ride from what i hear and they ride pretty low for a spring drop.

and welcome to cl

to the OP: you're looking at marginal differences between one brand of aftermarket lowering springs and another brand. however, many 2is owners have had positive impressions with H&R and tein s-techs, so you're going a step in the right direction. good luck, and keep us updated.

I like eibach .. but it's coming from a bias perspective. :P The Eibach sportlines are suppose to drop a little more than the pro kit though.

Well Tein S-Techs it is then. I just bought one from eBay few minutes ago. Thanks guys, this really helped indeed
