Default Eibach on AWD?

hey i'm looking to buy the eibach 250 pro kit for my 250AWD, but on all the sites it doesnt have it listed as compatible with the AWD, although i've seen many AWD members with it... just want to make sure its no problem right?, and should i let the place installing it know about the AWD difference? or is it no big deal.. i just dont want to run into any problems, thanks

I run the Eibach IS250 springs on my AWD. No problems. Looks 100x better, handles 100x better.

I just installed Road Magnet Springs on my awd as it was made specifically for the awd IS. Might want to check them out. 2 inch drop and handling is so much better. PM someone from High Society VIP for the springs.

I really cant say how stiff they are because Ive never been in another IS with a different type of spring. Its impossible for one to make that call, because stiff might be soft to some people and vice versa. My opinion, being Ive had 4 lowered cars is that it rides the best out of all of them. The ride is firm but still very good and not harsh. Handling is improved dramatically. Before the springs the car was so floaty, it was just awful.

i think im goin for the eibach installation is 50 per wheel lookin at other places still. also i been hearing people sayin they hear some noise in the back but after a while it goes away. any idea why that happen. im guessin its cuz the spring didn't settle in yet.

is the drop noticeable with the teins cause i've been hearing the drop is minimal. I can't really tell from the pictures cause you have 20's
