Default AWD Lowering Springs Help

I am about to purchase the f sport springs for my 2012 IS250 AWD. I am wondering what type of shocks and struts can I pair with the f sport springs that resemble f sport performance and can also fit my IS AWD without any issues.

The F-Sport shocks are supposedly made by Bilstein for Lexus. You can also check the classifieds for actual F-Sport ones people are unloading. I purchased mine directly from Lexus parts dept. also if you want to call them and see if they’re available. Hope that helps.

The F Sport bilsteins are discontinued so I don;t think it'll be easy to track some down. I'd personally opt for coilovers because the springs would be matched to the valving of the shock, are fully height adjustable, customizable dampening settings, and are easily serviceable. You aren't going to be able to source replacement shocks when they do go. You can try looking around but the options for replacement struts for us 2IS AWD cars is severely limited especially if you want sport suspension. Just my $0.02

For the AWD F-Sport/Bilstein shocks, the part numbers are as follows:

PTR13-53090 - Front RH
PTR13-53091 - Front LH
PTR13-53092 - Rear (Qty: 2)

There is stock available for all of these part numbers in the USA, but I am not sure how available they are (may be held for warranty replacement purposes). Check online or at your local dealer if you are interested in purchasing them.

I bought a full set of these about 2 weeks ago from this dealer parts dept, in Roseville, CA. Free shipping, and code "CL5" gets you 10% off. I didn't get charged any sales tax for shipping out of state to NV.
