You should get Spring Silencer to minimal the clanking noise. If you want to drop it litlle more to make it look better, cut you spring about 1 coil and you good to go. I have same springs on my car and love it.

shouldnt have to use any silencers for the eibach pro kit springs. clanking is usually associated with the old f-sport springs. Here are step by step instructions on installing f-sport springs. Make sure you align the rear springs correctly. http://is.sewellparts.com/pdf/PTR0753080.pdf

don't cut the spring...you ruin how the spring was designed to perform! That's ghetto chop shop!

and the winner for the worst advice ever goes to.........

Please, please, please do not cut the springs. If you need to cut the spring then you bought the wrong ones.

Hello Everyone,

I'm looking to buy some lowering spring but the shop i stopped in to visit today proposed H&R spring.
My question is what works best on an IS 250 08? I'm looking to drop the front 1.5" and 1" on the back. Lastly is 5 bills for the kit and install normal? I welcome any feed back. Thank you

Sounds very pricey.....does that include an alignment? If it does, it isn't too terrible.
