hey guys, just an update, I got the springs installed, and the ride quality is great! I'm really liking it, and the car looks so much better. I will post more pics and more feedback later as it settles down.

Good to hear everything arrived on time and was installed quickly. Post pics once the springs have settled.

^^Thanks Apex!

Guys, I highly recommend these springs, they are great, i was a little skeptical at the begining, but after getting them, I have no regrets. And Apex84's been nothing but helpful answering my questions before and after the sale. Great service!

btw, how much was duties for the springs??
hey bebechica, i didn't pay duties for them because I had them shipped to a US address. and I went over to pick it up.

everything's good except the rusted front rotors. I will bring it to lexus to look at this this weekend. I may end up going 19's for the wheel set up as well, possibly getting the work varianza t1s.

Alright guys the sale will be ending on May 16th. Remember that this is special introductory pricing and we will not be running this sale at this price again. So if you're contemplating ordering these springs time is running out.

Hi, just bought awd is250 & interested in lowering...

I've read all the comments, but can compressing the shocks 2" over time cause stress to oem shocks??

Has anyone had aligmnent problems?...the front alignment should be checked.

Yes over time the OEM shock can wear out but that is dependent mainly on how often and how hard you drive your car. I have my car lowered on Road Magnets for 50K before I swapped them out. But I didn't swap them because my shocks went bad. My OEM shocks are still fine. We have not had any customers with IS250awds that have Road Magnets installed on the OEM shocks complain of any issues in reference to what you've stated above.

We recommend that all those that install these springs get and alignment once the springs settle.

so far this thread has been VERY VERY helpful...props to everyone who helped.

I want to drop my car but i have ZERO experience in any of this. I just want to make sure I'm not making a mistake...I can't help but think about the long term effects such as camber, alignment, stock shock life.....etc...

anyone have any insight into this? plz brainwash me....i really want these springs but my logical mind says no.
