Hey guys, here is a quick photo of my TEINS that i threw on yesterday. The drop is perfect for my car, since I'll mostly be using it for the winter and this won't cause it to be a snow plow.

The ride is better then stock I personally think, with no harshness to it.

Looks awesome!
Should take some more pictures from more angles.

Looks way better than stock. Nice car buddy.
May I ask where you got them installed and for how much?

totalstu

Nice!

Lookin' good

I'll post some more pic's when i have time tomorrow. I got them installed at my mechanic that i take my car to. But if i had to do it agian I wouldn't go there cause I think he jipped me. I know another guy who'll do it for $250 at his shop, plus cost of alignment. I nkkow i overpaid, and oh well..

It's better than what happened to me. I took my Eibach springs to a local "reputable" shop, and they messed up my OEM shocks and eventually led them to prematurely blow.

I rather pay more for a piece of mind.

r1lee

ok, you win
my mechanic is older now and i think he doesn't care about volume anymore. Either you go to him or not...

But i'm sure you are liking those TEIN's right now. I have to admit, I'm 99% happy with my setup now. But i would be much happier if I was able to get those COILOVERS to fit. But I'm glad that you got them to work and that our transaction went without a hitch.

looks great, very clean looking drop. Is the drop even between the front left and right? I've heard that Tein springs have lower driver side than passenger side on our IS.

r1lee

Yup, your absolutely right. If you look dead on front, you can't tell. The only way you can is if you measure the gap.

But i've also heard of eibach's not sitting properly either, I believe CSPEC used the eibach's and his weren't sitting properly on either side.

I expected the H-tech's to be off, as i read through many posts about them not sitting properly. I took the chance as I wanted springs that had the slightest drop, because i didnt' want to sacrifice ride. What I gained was better handling, and an overall better ride. Lexus should have done this straight from the factory.

the gap difference does not bother me one bit, but I will try to post pics today on both sides and front view so everyone gets a good idea.

I am 100% happy with my decision to go with the TEINS.

Here are some of the pic's i promised.

GSE25

Not bad at all r1lee. Are these H-Techs made for the 250 RWD?

cspec

Nice Tom, a front lip and you're set!

r1lee

Yup, you got it. Either the 250 or the 350, not sure.

in the winter, it would be called a shovel!

hey for some reason i went to the TEIN homepage and looked up products made for lexus and they have H-Tech's but only for the 350's...did you buy them for 350 and just slap them on yours?
