I own a 2011 Is250 and im thinking about buying some Tein S lowering springs, this guy is selling some that he was going to put on his 2015 is250, he tells me that they will fit on my 2011 just fine. i would feel much better if i got a reply from one of you guys telling me if this is true or not before i buy something that wont ft on my car. Thanks! Michael

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
thanks

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"
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"

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.

I would chalk it up to a typo.

I got the Teins because I know they have been around a long time and is a spring company. I finished the install today. Took a lot longer than I thought but after figuring out one side, it went a lot faster on the other. I am very happy with the ride quality. I would say just like stock. 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.
