Thanks for the reply.I don't want to go very very low as i see your cars in US.Unfortunate i live in Greece and the roads here are very bud.I m also waiting for my baby to come so i would go as low as i can without problems.Do you think i can lower the car with Teins without having finger gup at all or it will not go that low?Can anyone lowered on teins send me a picture ?

I have the tein cs on my is350. It rides perfectly,it is stiffer without being jarring. Takes out all the body roll. It can drop to a no finger gap easily. Hope this helps.

hi kannon! Is the tein cs came with both front and rear upper pillow mounts? Or you have to swap out the factory one? And how much did you buy your? If you don't mind i ask? Because someone offered me $1425 shipped. Thanks

1425 shipped is a good price, i havnt seen better than that iirc. I paid 1550 because I bought through my local shop just because I like them and the work they do is worth the extra money.

The twin cs are rubber mounts and not pillow ball mounts. Which leads to less noise and vibration.

Hope this helps

so the Tein CS are ready to mount, you don't have to swap the OEM parts?

No need to swap. The CS is a complete set so just remove OEM spring/shock and put these in.

EDIT: My mistake, the Tein CS for the IS250/350 is just like the IS-F's. The rear upper mount must be reused while the fronts are complete.

Let us know what you think after you install them. I'm interested in getting these for my car.

I love mine, it's almost like stock. I used them at the track and they performed well. As for the drop, I have a tight finger gap in the rear and about two at the front. Well, I don't really want to go any lower because the roads are pretty bad here in Washington.
