Default AWD on Springs?

hey guys,

i've been reading old threads on springs and have noticed some AWD owners are lowered on:

eibach 250
tein s-tech
road magnets

and i've also read about vibration problems with awd on springs:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...s-250-awd.html

which of these three are the best for the awd? how is the ride comfort and height? any problems so far?

thanks for taking to time to read this guys.

I am not sure about the which springs works the best... But I do know about the vibration problem... I am having that problem I put BC coilovers and am having that problem. There is vibration when you standing still and when you starting off on low speeds... I have had the coilovers for about 6,000 miles now and not having any problems other then the vibration I am getting use to the vibration that it doesnt even bother me anymore.. I was thinking about putting it back to stock but it looks too good lowered and as long as nothing is being damaged i dont mind vibration..

I have Tanabe NF210 for IS350's on my AWD.. Decent drop but had major vibration when first installed the springs. It was really noticeable when i'm on a complete stop. However after 2 weeks, the vibration disappeared and never came back. Not too sure the problem but i think you have to let your springs settle in first..

I have a set of Road Magnets for sale. They were made specifically for AWD's and deliver a 2 inch drop (AWD is approx 1 inch higher than RWD stock).

Let me know if your interested, I just upgraded to BCR Coils.

100% better than stock. Very responsive on the turns. Still rides good though but a tad bit bumpier than stock.
