so the eibachs are no problem on the AWD, but should i tell my installer that?? i dont want to have any install problems, but have a feeling if i show up and am like hey, these arent supposed to fit but they do, put um on, i'll get some sort of shaft and screwup, rather than if i just keep my mouth shut lol...
how are the Roadmagnet springs?? and how much do they run? the 2" drop is a little much i think

260 for road magnets. looks good to me but the drop is a bit much. i would have gotten them but the time i get my check was too late so no go. im not pay an extra 260 plus shippin plus tax on that will come to like 300 something. im goin with eibach. if i dont like em i'll just switch with some tein s or tein h.

i'm a little nervous about having a 2" drop, the roads where i live are TERRIBLE, i just got my front lip fixed from hitting a raccoon, i dont want to **** it up on any speed bumps or roads, so i might be thinking of the eibachs too, but again, on the install - is having the AWD going to be a problem with the installer, should i let him know or just have him do his thing? it specifically says on every site i find "Not for the AWD".. yet everyone here says it works and i believe them.. but will my installer have problems or no?

if no one makes coilovers for my car, i'm going to buy the IS 350 and 250 springs and use the IS 350 front springs and IS 250 rear springs to get the 1 in drop front to back.
From what I remember, a lot of people said you don't get an even drop from front to back.

I actually got it off of ebay with the livesearch cash back program google it. they are having 10% cash back right now. I was lucky to get 20% but some people got 35%.
there are some people who used these springs with AWD and don't have any problems with fitment. only thing is that infamous clunk noise in the back but I saw in another post that someone mention the tein silencer rubber to resolve the noise issue. well we'll see after my installation. I should have gotten it yesterday but due to the weather condition and road condition the delivery was delayed. this weekend i should be gettin it installed. will post pics after everything is done. i will be on stock wheels which is scratched up.

ok slight delay people not gettin installed this weekend. it will have to be next weekend. in the other thread RTIS250 mention about getting 5 silencer rubber. so im waiting for the rest of them and it wont be until next week. i just want to make sure i dont have that clunk noise. mikeyk13 if u want to see or hear from someone who has it check in the aftermarket wheel setup. im goin to do the same as DVac3.

oh yes? you guys are saying that Eibach IS250 lowering springs will fit perfect on AWD too ?....some shop help me call them and ask about it, and they said the don't made it for AWD..but since im close to them andi have an IS 250 AWD, they might use my car to testfit it, they also said if it won't fit, they will make one for me for free and make more for our AWD owner.
However..it is only might using my car, so still waiting for them to call me( they said if they use it then they will call me, or if they don't, then they will not call). =_= so i don't know if they are still thinking or not...therefore i just wanna make sure it will fit, because i have my new 19" rims are coming on 18th....please let me know what you guys know about it, thx alot!
