According to the TEIN website, the H-techs lower the front 1.02", and 0.63" in back. A very minimal drop. They are designed to maintain a comfortable ride, and only slightly increase cornering. If you want a comfortable spring, other than spending $$$$ for coilovers, the H-techs sound like a good choice to me.

those TeinS look awfully good!!! was searching today and they seem to give an all around of everything if you really want a sport ride.

Turbo GG your car would look great with your rims and this TeinS spring setup!!!

I have the Tanabe springs in my AWD the ride is pretty smooth. Although I don't really remember what the stock ride feels like it's been a while since I installed the spring.

spring + shocks/struts combo determine how your car is going to ride, not springs alone. Shocks/struts is the one dampening bumps in the road

You're probably right. Although now that I'm in the half century club, I'm looking for more comfort (especially as the IS is my daily driver), and less sport in my aftermarket spring purchase. I think the H-techs fill that requirement perfectly, without going to $$$ coilovers. Besides, I've got my Turbo Supra if I feel the need to drive like a maniac

I recently got the Eibachs and my first impression was that they were pretty similar to stock. After driving for a few weeks they are a bit stiffer but nothing too uncomfortable. Then again this is my third car with Eibachs so I guess I'm kinda used to them.

Anyone know if the IS350 eibach will fit on a UK IS250 Rear wheel drive?
I don't want to go for the IS250 eibachs as they will give too much of a drop and spoil the ride....
Also will the Tein H-techs (for the 350) fit a 250 RWD also?

This statement though true in one sense is completely off the mark in another ...YES spings and shocks will effect the ride quality but (and here's the kicker) if you change your springs to something significantly different than stock and/or not designed to work with the stock shocks the ride will change. this means that springs ALONE can/will change the ride quality. Logic tells us that changing any part of the suspension will have an effect on the ride

Yep...I'm off the spring only kick.
Coilovers are the way to go.
The Tein CS set I like is big bucks.The cheapest I found them was $1260 and don't know if they'll work for a 250.

I got swift springs, they feel almost stocked and drops the car by 1" in the front and .8" in the back. Makes it lower and u dont really have to worry about bumps and dips much.
