Default Any Recommendations for springs?

Hi CL,

Names Dave from the Hawaii forums. Long story short, coilovers are too expensive for my budget right now, and air runners are way down the line. So what I wanna know is, what kinda springs should I get to achieve that perfect dropped looked? I know this question may seem kinda vague so if you need any more information about my car I'd be happy to help you help me
Thanks!

Dave.

I've been reading around and forgot to mention, I have an '09 Xpackage IS250

Thanks again!!

I would say H&R springs will give you the perfect drop look. If you want something a little kinder to your stock shocks I would go with the Eibach 250 kit.

With the Eibach 250 kit will I get my car to achieve this drop ?:


*note, I found this image on google images so if anyone on CL owns this car and would like me to take it down, I'll gladly do it. BUT THANKS for the perfect example

No, but that looks like an ideal drop for posing in parking lots, if nothing else.

I also read in the other thread about tein s-techs. one of the users said his front left has a 1 finger gap whereas his front right side has a 2 finger gap can someone explain why there is such a difference in ride height? i'd understand if it was 1 finger front and 2 finger back but this is not the case...

H&R (IMO) has the PERFECT drop compared to other springs.... only way to make it better is to go to coilovers.

whoa, now that looks sick. So H&R provides the lowest drop possible without resorting to coilovers and bags ?? I have to admit, it is a nice drop but not quite low enough for my tastes... can we go lower??
