I found tons of pics of both F-sport and eibachs springs. plenty of good info on specs, prices, etc. However im having a hard time finding concrete information about ride quality between the F-sport springs and the Eibachs when used with stock (non-sport) shocks

From what ive heard these are the same springs. however, what makes me think the drop is the same, but the ride quality might be different is what some guys post about the Fsport saying: "ride is DEFINITELY harsher than stock" while some guys say eibachs ride same as stock. remember this is using stock (non-sport) shocks
so here is a poll to help me and all other looking for not just a drop, but close ride quality to stock.
this might be a subjective topic, but welll see what happens.
Thanks!!

I have the Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs on my X package suspension (Which I assume are just regular stock shocks)--
The ride is soft in my opinion--I haven't really driven an IS on F sports (1 minute at the Taste of Lexus event doesn't count haha) so I can't compare.

thanks. I think you r right, the X package has regular shocks (non-sport). im sure well have somobody in here tell us for sure. but if the ride is soft, im guessing they are regular ones. because some guys with sports suspension ans eibachs say its a very harsh ride

Oh really?? Hmmm, yeah my ride just feels like the stock ride pretty much--

I had an IS350 before with the Sport package-- if I remember correctly (since it was over a year ago since I had it), my 250 with the Eibachs on stock shocks rides the same

i think they should be around the same...and the f-sport is newer and cheaper lol

i think they are about the same. recommend f sport if u want to keep ur warranty by gettin it installed by the dealer. don't forget the clunk noise issue.

Ive heard of that, what exactly is that? true. i havent heard of clunk noise with eibachs?

i have heard from people on this forum about the clunk noise on eibachs, fsport, and even the roadmagnets. there should be a thread on it actually so check it out. i also want point out that some members who have these springs never experience the problem. so i guess there are some lucky people out there.

iirc i read somewhere that the f-sports are rebadged eibachs. i'll probably need a confirmation from an insider on that one though...

why limit yourself to just these two brands?
