they dont say its for a AWD on that page but he did email me saying this

"Yes, the application guide I have says all models. Let me know if you are interested in purchasing and I will check stock for you at BC.

Thanks,

if it says "fits all models" for the 2IS, then I'm afraid it won't work for the IS 250 AWD either.

The IS 250 RWD and IS 350 have the same suspension setup.

The IS 250 AWD have a different setup in the front but same in the rear.

Thats actually true, lots of products that we IS owners have are from Taiwan. Products like, Signal Mirrors, LED tail lights, and all of JUN-TW products.
