Ok chaps,

Firtsly hi! I'm new here and actually have an IS250 se-l (MM auto) in the UK.

I've recently upgraded my standard 17" wheels to new 18" Baransu (G-Spider)wheels, I'm now thinking of lowering the car to make it look a tad better (though I think it doesn't look too bad now!)

My quandary is what to do? Options are:

Do nothing, don't bother as looks ok as is
Get :IS250 US eibach pro spring set - drop front 1.4" drop rear 1.0"
Get :IS350 US eibach pro spring set - drop front 1.0" drop rear 0.8" (not sure if this will work on the IS250 rear wheel drive?????)
Get :IS250 UK eibach pro spring set - drop 1.0" front and rear
Get :IS350 US Tein H-tech springs - drop front 1.0" and rear 0.6" (not sure if this will work on the IS250 rear wheel drive?????)



As I have only got 18inchers, the car height has not been raised as much as if I had 19's or 20's - so I'm thinking the US eibach pro spring set will give too much of a drop at the front for my car, however the IS350 eibach pro spring set would give less of a drop but then is it actually worth doing for as slight a drop as this? Although, on the plus side I suppose the ride might not be effected as much if I went with less of a drop!
I do like the idea of a lower drop front to rear though as i think the car would have a better stance so that probably rules out the uk set.
Not sure about the Teins either as heard they can suffer from tilting, ie car drops one side more than the other?!

As you can see am most confused so any help greatly appreciated.....
ps: I'm asking you guys cause you seem alot further ahead in mods than most of us Brits! So hopefully you'll have lots more experience and views!

I now see member here ReLexin has Tein H-Tech Springs in his 250AWD in his signature.
I suggest you PM him and see what he says about H-Techs.

Anyone got any views about the IS250 2WD??
