I just got them installed a few days ago. They ride just a tad harder than stock. I love the drop although the front could use a little more drop. In the corners, the car feels confident and body roll has decrease significantly.

how low was the total drop in the front and rear? i couldnt find the specs online for some reason, but on the tanabe site, it mentioned they can be lowered to1.5inches.

I didn't measure how low they were. But your IS250 Rwd should have an even drop of .7 at the front .7 at the rear.. according to http://www.tanabe-usa.com/springs/sp...tions.asp?id=2

In my opinion, YUCK!! They lower the car more in teh back then the front, it already sits lower in the back and need MORE drop up front.

i saw my friends is, he got the nf210 but i shortly realized hes rocking some 20's. but then i went to hang out with another friend of mine also today, and we went to his homies shop, and i got hooked up on some h&r sport springs, so imma just go with h&r all the way around.

It DOES NOT need any more drop up front. Cosmetically speaking it does, but practicality speaking it does not. I bottom out A LOT!!! and the underside of the front bumper is scraped to *****. I want a front lip, but it would be ripped off.

But if you live down south, where you have nice roads. Then you may be ok.

I have Tein CS coilovers with 1.6 inch drop up front and 1 in the back. This make the car sit perfect with the stock tire sizes. This is an aggressive drop compared to most that are offered by most spring manufacturers, but doesn't seem all that low with my coilovers. I never bottom out or scrape. You just need to pull in to steep inclines at an angle, not that hard to do. I hit stuff hard and fast all the time and my GFX front lip is flawless, with the exception of a few rock chips, but I would have those no matter how high my car sat.

Can you post a few pics???? I am debating the coilovers on stocks vs. rims and springs only....I figure about $1700 for Tein CS installed, and wheels and springs about $2k....I will eventually do rims even if I do coilovers...but it would be in a few months....
