I'm on the verge of buying springs, but i don't know which is better. People seem to complain about the f-sport being loud in the rear. Eibachs seem to have a afs problem if installed incorrectly. I just want something that will be best in the long run.

Thanks

1. I got eibach250, drop is good, ride is comfortable, close to stock. No complaints here.

btw I put rubber silencers, no noise so far. AFS runs normal too.

2. I rode an IS250 with F-sport springs, ride is similar to eibach, comfortable, can't even tell that the car is on another springs!!

no noise when I was driving the car

Hope that helps...

Thanks. I looked into both springs as well as the s-tech. I think im going to put both springs in a jar and pick randomly. HAHA

aiight just to give more detail. the f sport is 1 inch all around. the only problem i heard was the clunk on the bumps. the same goes for eibachs. eibachs has 2 versions. the is350 and the is250 version. is350 version has 1 inch drop in the front and .8 inch drop in the rear. the is250 version has 1.4 inch drop in the front and 1.0 inch drop in the rear. after examining the fsport from my friend's car and mikez im glad i went with the eibach is250 version but thats my opinion. i met up with mikez at the local meet and he doesn't like his drop with the f sport springs. u can't tell its even dropped and his pictures is very deceiving. lol. on the good side u get to keep your warranty if you get it installed by the dealer. sorry mike but still ur car is still awesome just cuz it has garfield in the car. lol.

Well you have a 250 so wouldn't you get the 250 version for eibach? I don't want my car dropped too much in the front since i live in a city with potholes, bumps, hills etc. Will i be fine with the eibachs for my 350?

Eibach, 99.9% sure is the subcontractor for Fsport springs... its like if someone askes, which should buy Endless or Project Mu brakes...

Your choices are Eibach 250/s-tech or tanabes for the GS350 (which fit on our car). take a look at aznpapayas recent thread for more info.

and no, you wont be satisfied with the 350 spring drop...

so far so good for me 2slow. trust me in jersey the roads are horrible depending on where u go. i have to deal with the speed humps goin to work. u think u have it bad. lol. not to mention snow. i have not tested the drop in the snow yet.

^^i agree with the light guru above about eibachs being the subcontractor for fsport springs.

Is it safe for me to run 250 springs on my 350? I seen people have them, but they don't give much feedback.

yes, it is safe.

and if you haven't figured it out already from what others have alluded to, eibach pro-kits and f-sport springs are the same...

The F-Sport does not provide a sufficient drop for the AWD. I would recommend Tein S-Tech for AWD owners.

The F-Sports are close to or exactly the same as the Eibach Pro for IS250.

Also consider H&R springs, T-Rex06 used to have them on his car and the drop was great, better than F-Sport springs.
