Out of curiosity, would you all recommend avoiding installing f-sport lowering springs on my 250? I mean if there have been this many problems with a 350, surely it can't be good for my 250...right?

Tex915: Here is my advice. You might have some great places to get your IS lowered in TX. I'm in TN, and I have yet to find a worthwhile place to get this type of work done. The two Lexus dealerships I have used - although Very Nice and Great with customer service (seriously) - have been unable to successfully install the springs and/or shocks properly. My car is now plagued by irritating noises. Although I love the handling that the Springs + Shocks provides, the sounds they make ruin the experience. I don't think I would do it again. I would probably do something unsupported by the warranty, since the warranty isn't helping me get this fixed anyway (e.g., coilovers, lowering with a good shop in another state, etc.).
As far as doing the Springs alone, I wouldn't do that unless you have the Sport shocks. I did lower mine the first time with the F-Sport Springs and stock, non-sport shocks. It was okay for a while, but then the ride became very harsh.

I got them installed at a local shop and I am very pleased with the installation. So far I've heard no noises or anything. I did however installed both springs/shocks. Ride is a little stiffer but still very nice. Overall I'm very happy with this setup.
