Hello everyone I have a 2010 is250 rwd. and I have 235/35/19's in the front and 265/30/19's in the rear. I went to a lexus store the other day and they completly talked me out of getting them. I just want to make sure I can put them in and get an alignment and have it b back to normal. if u have any pic's of this same set up please email me at paintrm250@hotmail.com.

What was there reason of talkin you out of spending money with them and gettin springs? I wouldn't say back to "normal" but if you get a good alignment you could reduce tire wear. From what I've read on here the lexus spec alignment will wear out your tires faster if your lowered any.

To answer your question, yes you can have them installed. Will it be back to normal? Hmmm, well if you're referring to ride quality, not the exact same. If you will have negative camber? a bit, but some negative camber is good performance wise. I'd also like to know what the "Lexus Store" said to you? Did you mean the Lexus dealer?

One could think of getting the X-Sport/Sport Package shock/spring set from Sewell. There is not a part number but would be a wii bit lower and it's linear spring.

I work at a toyota store in MA herbchambers. and i bought my new is250 from herbs store in sharon ma. and i went there to get the springs. and they were like your alignment will never be good, and my tire will ware out 3 times as fast. i want a stiffer lower ride im cool with that. i just dn't want my yoko s drives wareing out.

Yeah it's like the factory cannot get it right so it messed up the alignment. It was the dedicated alignment shop I went to which completely fixed it which made a differnece.

LOL - wow, Doom & Gloom. Don't be nervous with FSport springs - the drop is so tame that extra tire wear will be minimal. And you will not notice a difference in the ride unless you are extremely sensitive. It will align fine.

I think im going to spend a g on bc coil over because they come with camber adjustments plates and then i kno it will b able to be aligned properly. has anyone evey had any problems putting bc coilovers in a rwd 250? any sugjestions?

binhster

BC Coilovers don't have camber adjustment plates for the IS. It's not possible to fix camber with plates in the 2nd gen IS. I think the best option would be the FIG control arms or Megan racing camber links (Megan links can introduce more noise/vibration). I just ordered a set for my IS350 and as long as you don't dump it to the ground, a simple alignment will be good enough.

ok so i just go the f-springs, i mean wtf they are made for the is250 and 350. I just dn't want my tires waering out faster than normal. and are there any links i can get or camber adjustments ?

jasonis250

has anyone had a 2010 is250 rwd. and put in the f-springs in and put it on an alignement machine and had a problem woth stock 18's or 235/35/19 265/30/19 ? just want to make sure before i spend a ton to put them in just to take them out? lol

FYI I have F sport springs and shocks and have not had any alignment problems or weird tire wear. They were installed and aligned at Magnussen Lexus in Fremont. Had it like that since November.

you wont have a problem. take it to a good shop that does alignments and they will get you very close to stock specs.

i have a 2010 IS250 rwd with F-springs and shocks. I had the alignment done at a toyota dealership for $100 less. So far I've had no problem but I have the 17" oem rims.
