i will call and bug them tomorrow too

i think another reason they dont' make it is because in Japan, there is no AWD250, only the RWD 250 and 350's. that could be another reason..

Oh yeah without a doubt I would totally jump on this list but I'm a struggling college student But i know eventually this is the route i'm going to have to take.


BTW this is just a thought but have you guys considered contacting Tokico as well? Because I swear they might be the manufacturer of our stock suspension.

i have lived in ny since the car came out... and i have NEVER seen an IS350 in new york. Ever. I have never seen a 250MT, ever. The only 2IS i have seen in the northeast is the 250AWD. I am down in florida for this week, and i have not seen one AWD... kinda funny

hey, i offered to test fit some coils here in sunny socal, but no one took up on my offer!
I even contacted tanabe, but they wanted a GS-AWD and they said they'd holler if they needed me, but they never contacted me, haha so i dunno
