The OEM springs are different from the 2IS to the 3IS...physically they will fit, but spring rates are completely different.

Anyone with feedback on the tanabe NF on a 200t? The specs is 1.4 F and .6R, I think it would even out the wheel gap since the front has a larger gap.
Also with a roughly 1 inch drop was any camber kit needed? How was the alignment specs.
I'm looking to get rid of the gap but maintain tire life so spending money on additional camber kit is not an issue.

Thank you

Hi, I’m new to the forum and I just picked up a 2018 IS300 AWD. I’m just wondering if the s tech SKQ74-AUB00 will fit AWD? I’ve done a search and couldn’t really find the answer.

thanks

Looking at Teins website, I would say no.
Reality is that a 2018 IS300 AWD is the same as a 2018 IS350 AWD, with respects to this particular question.
It appears the the Tein part number you quoted is only for the RWD version of the 350...which will fit the 300 RWD as well.

I have a IS200t F-sport (stock shocks Tokico) according to Tein for my car the ride height is MUCH lower for S-Techs in the back then a IS-250 or even 350. That seems strange when i check part numbers off my rear shocks Part# 48530-53310 also same as IS-250 F-sport. Does this make sense or did they maybe make a mistake? Unless the mounting for the shock tower or the lower control arm is different they should be the same Here is what the drops rates for Tein# SKQ74-AUB00
according to Tein's data :
IS200T
Front: -1.4"
Rear: -1.8"

IS250
Front: -1.2"
Rear: -1.0"

IS350
Front: -1.4"
Rear: -1.0"

I would chalk it up to a typo.
The rear suspension is the same for all three models you quoted above.
The shocks will be different if you have an F Sport or not, but that's more the internal functioning than external dimensions.
Although as the rear has a shock with the spring mounted separately, it really doesn't matter what shock you have as the spring ultimately controls ride height...the shock is just there for dampening and controlling the vehicle oscillation.

Thanks @Sasnuke ! Yeah that's what i figured too, so just now i even checked into all the parts. The right rear control arm part# 48730-30140 and per lexus.parts.com it Fits: GS 200t, GS 350, GS 350h, IS 200t, IS 250, IS 350, RC 200t, RC 300, RC 350. I'll spare everyone the other part #s but to sum it up the rest of the mounting parts are identical to all three cars(200t-250-350).Tthe rear spring upper spring seat is also the same fitment as is the upper and lower spring insulators. Hopefully, this will clear things up for anyone else out there with an IS200t. I agree with you it looks like Tein made a typo on their website.

Yes that does look good ! I believe that is a IS350 i keep looking for IS200t pics with Tein S-techs, but i figure the drop is about the same on both cars.

Felt really good in sport and sport +. The drop is perfect for what I wanted. But over speed bumps, I scrape the lower flaps. I was worried I had scraped the bumper. Write up of the install to follow. I am sore from head to toe.

I love the stance ! That’s exactly what I’m looking for. Did you have spacers on this pic?
