I have the IS350. The drop is less for the 350. It might be because the IS350's stock suspension is lower. I'm not positive though.

Yeah, I know. Their prices are usually pretty reasonable.

There will be no sportline kit.

The spring rate is a little higher than that of the sport package suspension, but I cannot give you exact numbers at this time.

As for those asking about the drop. I'm pretty sure that you can add another 0.5" to what the stated drop is because they dropped it an inch from the sport package. As for bounciness, it's about the same as a sport package on dunlops. For the almost 3 months I've been on the preproduction springs I haven't felt any real difference from when I had the stock sports suspension.

I think it is probably after it settles. You can see from my pictures that it looks appoximately 1" and those pictures were taken 3 days after the installation.

viet658,

Are your tires rubbing at all after you lowered your suspension? I'm starting to consider purchasing 20'' rims now.

There is no rubbing. I think 20" with the Eibach springs would look perfect.

The front is +38 and the rear is +45. I had the same problem with rubbing on the inside of the wheel well like everybody else on this forum who changed out their wheels.
