Is250 Lowering Springs.

Guys

Anyone fitted springs to their 250? a bit worried about the comfort being ruined, but it does look good....!

I am going to keep my stock OEM alloys and get them powder coated, black/graphite.

guess no one got aftermarket suspension on a 250 here?

Yeah, I think a few have bud. I have the Eibach Pros, US spec.

I went in a few 250's with different springs. Thought the H&R were too hard for a 30mm all round drop. The ones I have give a little more and in all honesty there's very little comfort difference, only really felt when going over speed bumps!

The look of the car is transformed after its dropped a little... Go do it!

Forgot to add, I'm on 19" rims so keeping oem will add to the comfort too due to the larger tyre profile, you'll have no issues!

If you're near the Isle of Wight I'd show you lol

Where did you buy the US spec. springs from?

Thanks.

I came across this

First of all, Eibach makes the lower springs for Lexus and Lexus calls it F Sport.

Second of all, there are 2 Eibach Pro Kit for the IS:

Eibach Pro Kit for IS350 part# 8287.140: Front - 1" / Rear - .8"

such as this on eBay

Eibach Pro Kit for IS250 part # 8288.140:
Front - 1.4'' / Rear - .8''

I am wondering if i would be better off with coils if i do decide to get a drop.

will these screw up the AFS/HID self level feature?

I got mine from eBay US seller. Cost around £250 Inc shipping if I remember correctly.

The US spec IS250 ones are the 1" rear / 1.4" front. I'll try to dig out where I got mine from.

The AFS blink issue will only happen if the dogleg sensor arm on the n/s rear is misaligned. Most taken it off then not put it back on correctly. There's a good few pictures to show how it is meant to be... As long as you or the fitter is aware it's not an issue at all.

Thank you for letting me know. I'll take a look around and see what I find.
