clunking on eibach 350's?
anyone have or have heard of clunking issues on eibach 350's? i know these are supposedly the same as f-sports, but i've only read of clunking stories with f-sports, not with eibachs, so i'm a little confused. if this is the case, i might just go with the 350's to have a better chance of being clunk free...thanks!

Good question, because I have not experienced it with Eibach 350's on my IS350.
2nd question, there's been mention of "proper spring installation" contributing to the F-Sport/Eibach springs being quiet, what does that mean?

And if there is really a defect on the F-sport springs (rebadged Eibach) itself, don't you think Lexus would have recalled or rectify the product by now. To top it off, base on the CL polls 60% don't / 40% do get the clunking noise. If there is an issue with just the springs, most of us should have the problem not majority don't.

The Lexus dealers are good at mechanical, maintenance, and electrical work not much exposure to mods; especially changing out springs in which those seldomly break after over 90K+ miles.

So the mystery remains, as to the cause....

Certainly a mystery on the noise. The Lexus shop he used in Fremont should have a fair amount of experience installing F Sport springs, because of the number and demographics of the Lexus buyers here. But in my opinion a couple of the best independent shops locally have done many more suspension mods (including springs) to Lexus cars.
