i am thinking about lowering my wife's 2011 is250awd,is there any springs or coils recommened for the awd? i did a seach and seen alot of complaints about viberation.has this issue been worked out,any spring or coilover known not to have this problem? i don't need to slam the car,just a slight drop will be good.
thanks Steve

 

Welcome. From what I've seen here on the forum, seems like most folks go with F-Sport springs or BC Racing coilovers for their AWD ISX50. Unfortunately the vibration may still be there. Some don't get it, while others live with it. If you do drop it, careful of your CV Boots. Perhaps some lowered AWD owners could give their .02

 

i world do H&R or F spring w/ F shocks... OR just springs only... i don't think coilovers would be very useful for your wife.

 

Just the springs would be more cost effective if he wants to lower the car. If he decides he wants to get the shocks as well, might as well get the coilovers because they'll come out to be roughly the same price albeit maybe $150 more. But with the BC Coils you get the height range AND the dampening system which in itself may be worth it for his wife. Both hard and soft settings are a nice feature on these coils

 

cool,i think i will look at the bc coils,or just the f-sport springs.is there a couple different versions of the f-sport springs?the way it sounds some people have this viberation problem and some don't?i don't get it. any know if the f-sport springs will effect the cv boots?
Steve

 

no there is just one version of f spring... bc coilover is only good if you are going to use them properly and that is to adjust height and/or firmness. i just think you can save the trouble just by going with spring or spring + shock. the spring or spring + shock wont have an aggressive appearance though.... it will be noticeable and conservative, and it is basically install and forget kind of deal. i dont think ull be changing rims so coilover wont be that beneficial. just my opinion

 

do you have any experence with the ride quality,on just the f springs on stock struts?a noticable,conserative look is what i am going for.how about the cv boots on a f spring drop?
Steve

 

Get Megaz EZ coilovers... they're very good and affordable. And your ride will be even smoother on softer settings, just don't slam the car too much or you'll have vibration and other problems. I deal with it daily haha!
