19x8.5 and 19x10 CCW SP18's and NO RUBBING on Eibachs:







I'd JUST installed the springs on in these pics and the car had yet to settle completely. Now, the car is settled, slightly lower than pictured, has no rubbing, and I can't tell a difference in ride quality!

Very Nice Nick. Ride is very similar to stock in the wifies IS as well.

Well guys I just wanted to keep everybody posted. I tried to adjust the bracket and the AFS light did not go away it still flashes . I adjusted the bracket both ways all the way up and all the way down. I really dont understand how some people have the problem with the AFS light flashing and some people dont whats the deal with that . I am going to try and take it in to Lexus and ask them to take a look at it I hope they can fix it.

Smooth,

Just curious... Did you try placing both nuts in the EXACT same spot in the middle of the brackets, (in the original position). The reason I'm asking is because perhaps Eurosport may have hit one by accident while doing the install. The ones in the front I'm assuming are not adjustable?

Have you tried this? Seems easy enough. Perhaps it'll reset that light?

Thanks for your suggestion, just to let everybody know I tried every configuration on the bracket up,down and in the middle, also after each adjustment I took the car for a 1/2 hr drive hoping the light will reset to my displeasure it did not reset My car has 2600 miles on it so pretty soon I will have to take it in for the 5k service at that time I will ask Lexus if they can take a look at it. There is another member who suggested unplugging the AFS sensors he said that the place that lowered his car did that for him and that on his car there are no flashing lights. I dont mind unplugging the sensors I think that will be my last resort . I really hope Lexus can resolve this issue without me resorting to unplugging the sensors.

I've had mine on for almost two weeks now and have had no issues. Exact Motorsports here in NorCal did a great job installing them. If it is installed properly, there is nothing wrong with Eibach. I started a thread regarding the bumpy ride after the springs have settled. But for some reason, yesterday and this morning, it feels much better. It's almost back to stock ride quality. I don't know if it's just me being too sensitive about it or what. Also, I put a full tank of gas yesterday. I don't know if that made the difference.

dat-is350,

I put the Eibach's on my '07 recently and I had the dreaded AFS light too. I am embarassed to admit, however, that I had simply installed the rear (driver's side) arm upside down. The AFS is really pretty simple. With the car sitting level on its suspension, the front and rear AFS arms need to be positioned such that they are approximately in the middle of their range. Just do this and you should be good.

With the car sitting at normal ride height it should look like this:
