It all depends on how low you want to go.

Eibachs/L-Tuned: 1.0" - 1.2"

Tein HT/S-Tech: 1.5" - 1.75"

H&R: 2.0"

*This is after they settle.


I have the Teins H-Tech w/ Bilstein shocks.



I hope this helps.

YoNadz,

Check out www.is300.net and do a "search" for the info. You will find all your answers there!

Take a look at their store for parts or visit www.lextasy.com. You will find more parts on is300.net within the forums.

Good Luck!

I have H&R springs with a 2" drop and 19" wheels. Thwy do fit...although, the front tires rub the plastic lining when I make sharp turns, but that could be because I need a different size tire, or I can just cut that much plastic lining off, no big deal! But it does fit!!
