Default Tanabe DF210 GS350 Springs on IS250 AWD??

I was just curious to see if anyone out there has put these springs on an AWD ISx50. Pics would help as well.
Thanks,
- Neil

Springs are on the way... I guess I'll be the one of the few AWD owners to have these springs..

Salty i believe the DF210 is a 2" drop. I think it is the most you can get from springs. If you want more of a drop you must go with coilovers..... we know the DF210 for the GS will fit the IS250 but we don't know for sure if it fits the AWD version. That is what I am waiting to hear from ohno. If they fit and the picts look good then thats what im going with rather than coils.

Sorry for the Late response, As soon as I got the springs I installed them. At first I was a little worried because the Tanabe springs were taller than my F-Sports, but after installing them I was amazed. These springs have a stiffer spring rate and the lowest drop (for springs) IMO from other springs that I've had. The drop on these are amazing. Looks like I'm dropped on coils. Especially after they settled. I'll take pics as soon as it stops raining here in Chicago.

Thanks,
- Neil
