Default IS350 springs

http://www.hopupracing.com/suspension77.html

i was lookin at these and was thinking about possibly purchasing a set, but i remember hearing somewhere that the sport package dropped the car 2 inches. can anyone confirm that? just curious because if it's true then i might just wait until the sports package springs can be found on car-parts.com. that's if they perform well that is

for sure not 2 inches. 2 inches is a lot of drop. sports package most likely lowers the vehicle about 0.5 - 0.75 inches.

Sports package only drops half an inch. As far as these parts being available. They aren't available yet. They're only making the Pro-Kit also. The kit should be out soon though. I'll let you guys know when I talk to their R&D next as they are busy with many different projects.

someone needs to come out with springs faster. the first company to do so will make bank. I hate how high the car is especially when I park next to my friends 330i there is such a big difference in height.

no one makes any shock/struts for the IS yet? Stock shocks + aftermarket springs = bad ride sometimes

With stock shocks and aftermarket springs your ride will be more bouncy. and they already have lowering springs available fromTien.
