Hi guys,

I've been with my 2008 IS250 RWD over 3 years now. And I'm about to mod my car for the first time. Before doing that, I need your advice!

I want to get one of these springs but not sure which one;
Eibach Pro Kit vs. Tein S Tech vs. H&R

Which one do you think is the best?
I like the look of H&R but I heard they are a bit soft.
I want better performance and nice looking. I don't mind stiffer ride at all. (Actually, I think I like stiffer ride rather than soft. lol)

I was leaning towards S Tech springs but I'm afraid of tires being rubbed.
So I thought the Eibach springs would be a better choice.
But before making a choice, I'd like to hear from you guys.

Also if there is anyone who want to sell one of those springs listed above, let me know.

Lastly, which shocks work best with those springs?

After several days of research, I found some people saying:
Eibach + Bilstein, S Tein + ?, H&R + Tokico Illumina.

Give me some advice!
Thanks!

 

me too
i wanna do this but still confuse with those problems
i did lots of research i think imma go with H&R and stay on my stock shocks

 

I've been looking at tein for a while now..heard alot of people on the forums talking about ride height and just overall ridability..thinking about coilovers though..any opinions ?

 

I got tein s tech with stock shocks and really like it. rides and handles good, drop looks nice.

 

Save yourself time and the hassle and go coilovers. That's what im about to do. I been on h&rs for about 7 months now. Stiffer than stock that's for sure. If the roads are ruff, you'll feel it. On highways and smoth surfaces they're fine.

h&r looks better and is a bit stiffer than OEM so id be leaning towards h&r OP

 

S-Techs on my car for over 6 months.. mated w/ Kumho Escta Platinum tires feels even more comfortable than the stock ride though with better handling now.

Ofcourse the drop isn't anything like w/ coilovers but for the price paid (got mine off of eBay) they are more than worth it!

Good luck w. your decision!
