Default I just called Eibach About AWD Springs

I just called Eibach to get a price on springs for the IS 250 AWD and they said they don't make them, only for RWD. Is this true and what is everyone doing if so?

Just lowered my AWD yesterday using the Eibach springs.... works just fine.
1.4" in the front 1" in the rear. Nice little gap now.

That's really cool man I can see you smiling from ear to ear, good luck. Where did you order them and I am guessing you ordered the 250 RWD prokit

yeah the eibach springs work fine on the awd

Relaxin did you get the 350 springs or the 250 springs? I've heard the 350 springs also fit and give it a bigger drop?

I bought them off another member here on Clublex. He went with a smaller drop.

The IS350 springs are 1" drop front .8" drop in the rear. so i believe the IS250 one lowers it more. Thats why some IS350 owners use the IS250 springs for their IS350.

There may be more as of now but RoadMagnet makes springs specifically for the 250 awd that will give a 2" drop front and rear which is perfect. The 250 awd sits higher than both the rwd 250 and 350.

If you are going to run 20's than the 350's springs will work fine. Running 18's or 19's and you will still have a good amount of gap.
