Don't waist your time or $$ on stock sport springs, get Eibach pro kit. My dealer installed mine.

I dunno if the Eibach Springs will work on AWD...if i did i would have gotten them...but i have the Tanabe NF210 Springs for the 06 GS and i have a 3 finger gap in the front and a 1 finger gap in the rear. I wanted an even wheel gap, but it actually looks pretty even, even tho there is a difference

The rear springs in the sport package for the IS are identical to the regular suspension springs, so simply installing the sport springs won't lower your car at all in the rear. Only the fronts are different (which provide a 10 millimeter drop).

Hey Phillip, how do you find the ride quality of the Tenabe NF210? I'm seriously considering it for my AWD250. What's your tire and rim set up?

for the cost of the OEM sport springs you can probably get a set of Tein H-techs or Tanabe NFs springs. these have the least amount of drop compared to other springs that are out.

how much did the dealership charge to install them? and how long did it take?

the stock springs drop it about half an inch, IMO not noticeable at all...

personally i will never get springs.. becuase when they settle they could be too low for your taste and you wont be able to raise it up.

3 finger gaps is quite alot.....

Ride quality is pretty much the same as stock....on the freeway, i noticed its a lil stiffer, but the average person wouldnt tell the difference...i just had people riding in my car and they never said anything. Right now i just have the stock 17" rims and tires. Hopefully, i can get some 19"s later on. I need to save up

how much do they cost?

You'll notice it with bigger wheels. I can tell you there is a difference in terms of ride quality. Sport is harsher, less roll than the non-sport.
