Eibach, H&R or Tien Springs?
 
Hi all,

I am looking to lower my car but want to do it very conservative such that I can preserve the ride quality such that, no scraping, no rubbing etc...

My alignment tech told me just to change the sport spring since the struts are pretty new and recommended Eibach, H&R and Tein since they are quality springs.

The question is, which brand name and model should I go with and best suits which I am looking for?

Thanks

I had a look at the link but I think I narrowed down my choices but there is not pics of them..

Woud like car pics with the following springs:
H&R OE Sport - I think this link maybe it but it was not verified. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...-h-and-rs.html
H&R Sport
H&R Super Sport

Thanks

Only H&R Sport is available... No H&R Super Sports for the 2IS

Try the search function... you'll see plenty of threads with pictures regarding this topic.

I have coilovers but if I had to go with springs... I'll choose H&R Sport... I had good experience with it in the past and it seems to give the lowest drop... second to road magnets.

Did a search and found the Sport pic. No luck on the H&R OE Sport Sport thou, and this is searching from CL and on google. Well for google, they show pictures on other cars like Subaru but I want to see it on an IS.

Hey guys, i need help. I'm having trouble on chosing whether to get eibach or tein s tech for my IS. i live in chicago and the roads aren't that great. I have a vertex front lip and gfx rear lip. The vertex front lip already makes the car lower from the front. which would be the best drop for the streets here in chicago?

I am 5 inches off the ground with this lip, but it looks like it is way lower if you just look at it.

This is how high i am with the rear and front lip on, I want a drop that will close the gap so i could stay with 18". I was thinking of going with gunmetal xxr 521. Any opinions or comments would help, thanks!

I would go with Eibach or F sport, but F sport springs has an issue. There is a thread on that.
Just my personal opinion.

Searching through this CL, I like the look H&R gave. Nice even drop with the right amount of drop 1.3-1.4 inches front and rear.
Eibach is a little too high on the back.
Tein is a little too high on the front.

Search hard and you shall find.

Probably about two inches, I am still about 8 fingers off the ground. I want a nice drop, that will still let me drive comfortably but will look good.

I think H&R
