Default Looking to lower my 250...help!!!

So I'm looking to lower my car (06 Lexus IS250) but I can't afford colliovers right now, so mainly looking for lowering springs or lowering kit. What're some good brands and trustworthy? I'm looking to lower about 1.3 front and 1.2 back

I am considering the F-Sport springs for IS... they lower about 1 inch front/rear.

llamaboyz has recommended eibach 250 springs 1.4front/1rear

I'm not sure if the Suspension sub-forum has anything, but it's worth it to take a look.

Yeah i would go with the F-Sport. That 1 inch really makes it look so much better.

welcome to the 2is section.

there's a 2is suspension subsection, and in there you'll find this:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...d-for-2is.html

the thread also has pics to give you an idea of how much ride height is reduced with each application.

hope this helps.

i can't recall of any aftermarket lowering springs for the 2is that will require you to roll your fenders. the most aggressive springs i've seen go as low as 2", and even then you won't need to - given the right wheel offsets.

wait i dont 'recommend' the eibach 250 springs, only for those who want the most minimum drop... my recommendation if you want to drop your car on springs is either Tein stech or Tanabe DF210 (for the gs350, they fit perfect on the 2IS)
