Its great! Its a firmer ride but not to crazy! It gives it a nice sport ride but I am not bouncing all over the place from the bumps on the road. IMO its the perfect balance between drop and ride comfort. I rolled the dice on this one and made a great choice for what I was looking for. I was skeptical to get springs vs. coilovers but I am happy I did. You can PM Brian231 to get another CL members opinion who has been in my car.

PM me if you want more info or I can be of help!

It might be very stupid question, but it's obvious that you may have lost some comfortness on the ride.
If you describe the percentage of comfort loss on your ride, what would that be?
I no longer live in Chicago, but when I did before, I had a 02 TL with H&R springs. It was just annoying to feel every bump....

Sorry for the thread bump, but my 08 250 AWD gets here next Friday and I'm doing some research. Have the springs settled any since this picture or are you stuck with the reverse rake?

r6raven and hellasboy both have road magnets and both are is250awd, but the drop looks different and it can't be a settling issue because hellasboy just installed his. Any input?

hellasboy drop looks even

I would go with the coils personally. If it is out of your budget there is always Road Magnet springs that were developed for our AWD's. I have then and will get rid of them once I can afford the coils.

Delivers a 2inch drop all around.
