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.

Can any body with a non-sport 350 verify that the pro-kit drops the car only 1 inch and not 1.5.
The first time I saw viet658's car, I thought the drop was more than 1 inch. Since his car is non-sport, did it really drop 1.5 inches then?

I would only consider the 1.5 drop if combined with a shock kit.

Looks real hot! I was waiting for this thread all night long, then i fell asleep. 
Seems like a very nice subtle and even drop all around.
Still trying to figure out the whole drop issue. I know remember pinoychris' photos of his car with the prototypes, and it definately looked lower and had the "raked" look. But then again he has stock wheels, and you have aftermarket. *shrug*
Looks great either way!
Has anyone bought the H&R's yet?

I guess Eibach is using the same springs for the IS250 and IS350. Since IS350 is heavier than the IS250, the IS350 drops more.

five it caple of days to let the suspention parts to settle.
You might gain a bit more drop when the spring settles, than take the car for an aligment.
nice drop tho, I like the rear drop a lot, front I might want a bit higher.
road condition here in Taiwan is just nasty, I need a bit more clerance in the front.
