I would think a 2" drop on just springs would make for a pretty harsh ride.

Stechs are 1.6, so whats another .4"s?... From what ive read alot of members love the ride quality, but all the reviews ive read are on AWD IS 250's. i wonder how these would look on my 350. Debating between RM, Stechs, and H&R now...Instead of eliminating one i added another one =/

Load up the car with fat chicks? Might cost you at the drive thru though

Leaving it as-is would probably be the best use of money, and would preserve ride quality too.

Im in contact with Road Magnet. They said they would let me know if they make a spring for the IS 350, and if not they would help me get a better drop someway. Maybe there gonna develop one for the is! He said he would let me know tomorrow.

I think im just going to go with S Techs, i could buy coils, money isnt the issue, i just dont really see the need in them. Plus they are expensive to get installed and i dont want to be dumped.

I have had S-Techs for about 3 months now and I love them!!!! I just want to go lower now. I think you should wait to get coilovers.

Everyone says that, but my car is my DD and i dont want to be slammed and bounching around. What are the best or softest and (most close to stock feel) coils?

Seems to me like BC Racing Coils are the way to go to keep stockish ride.

Default F-Sport Springs to Tein S-Tech Springs

Hey CL if i choose to go with Tein S-Tech Springs, do I or should I put some silencers on my back springs to prevent clunking. I did this on my f-sport and there is no cluncking but i think it did cause it to set just a tad higher. Thanks
