Good News Guy's! I checked the part #'s between the IS250RWD/AWD, and it appears that the struts are the same and the mounting points too.
RWD's Coilovers will fit on our AWD'S!!!! . I am going to be switching to coil's once I get out of my ridiculously steep drive way!




....& That's TanabeNF's!

^ That is a picture of my car going down into my garage. The incline is so steep, that I almost scrape my front lip but not quite. I have to get outta this spot before Coil's go on the car.

IS250 RWD and AWD have different struts... We have both of them and we have compared.. Due to AWD has drive shafts going to the front wheels the lower parts of the front struts have different shapes than RWD.

Look at the picture in the link, and tell me just how you plan to resolve the fitment issue.

Correct, I have confirmed what Lobuxracer sent as a pic. I took the chance of buying TEIN CS's and I can vouch 100% that the front strut will not fit. Do not think otherwise!

If they would have fitted, I would have them on my car and you all would know.

That cannot be, I have the print out of all the shocks part #'s for the RWD and AWD cars. My close friend (got him the job) is the part's guy at my LEXUS dealer.

I might have a solution for you AWD people about getting coilovers for your cars.

I will keep this updated when I get back from Hong Kong.
