Ok, plain and simple. No go! It looks like we have to wait. All i had to do was look underneath

My set of TEIN CS are now for sale if anyone is interested. Of coarse they haven't been used.

Can I ask why you decided not to go with the coilovers? Also how much are you selling for?

Indeed, I'd also like to know how much you're selling for

Are you waiting, and for what/how long or going the springs route?

I'm sure sometime a company will step out and address the need for the 2IS AWD owners.

Well i found out today when i took my car in to get the WORK Emotions XT7's on. I looked underneath and bam, I couldn't use the Tein's. Right now, the car sits high, and I'm not liking it, but I'm totally liking the rims.

Currently my wife will be driving the IS, as we're waiting for her rims for her RX330 to come in. That will be in 2-3 weeks. After that, the IS will sit in the garage until I figure something out. Lucky, I still have the Z3 to drive.

I probably won't drive the car, until i figure something out with the suspension.

So Why are the Tein S-tech Springs for the 350 working on the AWD? & The Tanabe NF's springs alot of us are running are the ones for the 350 as well. Dunno why some springs will work, but take a brand like Eibach & it wont.

Hey R1Lee, I know that Road Magnet have awd specific springs for our cars. It'll lower the car about 2" all around, so I'll be going that route. Which part of Ontario are you in? I'd like to check out those works you have there, awesome rims.

Where are you getting RM springs up here and where do you see awd specific springs? I just checked their website and only see springs for the 250

Thanks

r1lee

I posted some pic's of the rims on the other part of this forum. Check it out.

I'm not looking for a 2 inch drop. As this car is supposed to be a winter specific car with the likelihood of me driving it every so now and then in the summer. I don't want to be plowing snow :P

WIth the coilovers, I was only looking for a 1-1.2"Front and 0.8-1"Rears. While runnign soft settings so I can get the stock ride with less roll.

I was hoping to maybe throw the TEIN H-TECH springs as that's ony a 1" drop, I will call TEIN tomorrow to find out if they will work. I was told by ExclusivIS that the TEIN S-TECH works fine, so maybe the H-tech's will work.

Will call tomorrow and update.

Hey Lee, did you try the JIC Magic FLT-A2 for the IS250 RWD yet?? To my understanding, these should fit according to diagrams and printouts from Lexus of the suspension assembly. I looked over the diagrams, the assembly of the 350 and 250 is completely different. But there are no difference between the 250AWD and 250RWD. The only difference is probably the spring rate but even in that case, the two cars weigh a difference of, if I remember right, 100-200 lbs which is basically having one extra passenger in the vehicle.

I know in the diagram that lobuxracer provided show a difference in the shock assembly in the front, I personally didn't see this in the diagram Lexus provided between the 250AWD and 250RWD, only between the 250 and 350. So I think the assembly for the front, for both the 250AWD and 250RWD is the same, but I could be wrong.

r1lee

The diagram that lobuxracer provided is correct. RWD and AWD cars have different front Shocks.

I went through all the part #'s and it stated that the IS250 & IS350 parts were interchangeable, but AWD parts were not.
