Basically any spring will give disappointing drop on the awd, no point in looking for springs.
except for road magnets
i was very happy with the drop when i had it on my car

Here is my car with the Eibach's (for IS250). It was a perfect drop.

I've narrowed it down to Eibach ProKit 250 vs. Tein S-Tech. More pictures would be great.
Not going to go with coils, way out of my budget for this.

No they werent tucked, but there was only about a finger of gap. Personally, I felt it was a perfect drop. I had Tein's on my Accord and they were much bouncier than the Eibachs Ive had on numerous cars, so I went with the Eibachs. I was happy with them!

Coilovers!!! If you have an AWD I believe BC makes some for the AWD 250

road magnets have an even 2'' drop all around, unlike the 1.6'' and 1.2'' that that tein s does. anyone know if 2'' is too much of a drop for 19'' wheels?

2 inch is not too much for 19" wheels. I have 19's and had road magnets, best drop imo, and i didn't rub or bottom out at all

im pretty sure that our cars sit with the back a lil lower then the front... imo so the stechs are perfect with the 1.6 front and 1.2 rear but i dunno bout the awd... i got a 350

I think only coilovers if you want even drop or "AIR"

would you say that your drop looked even for both the front and the rear, or did your front sit a little bit higher with the road magnets
if i may ask, why did you get rid of the road magnets, and what did you switch to?
