After selling my IS300 and purchasing a new IS350, one of the things that I really missed was the steering and handling that the IS300 had. My 2002 IS300 had Tanabe NF210 springs and TRD yellow sways. The IS350 was definitely more luxurious and had less sportiness.
After talking to Steve at LMS, his crew installed a set of custom LMS springs yesterday. The drop is more even and lower than the Eibach drop. Some of the benefits I've noticed is better steering response and slightly less body roll. I'll address the body roll when stiffer sway bars are introduced.
Unfortunately, I didn't have an opportunity to take pics of the springs. They are powdercoated black and have a great finish. Steve says the spring rates are the same as stock and don't appear to be too soft or too stiff. Overall, I'm very happy with the install and happy I got these instead of the Eibach's.
LMS should have these available soon. Attached are pics the day after install.
