Idk much about springs, but I don't recall reading anything about springs for the 2IS that drop over 2inches. If you dead set of a drop like that, you're better off getting coils for your car - check out Megan EZ or BCRacing from CircuitMS!

Def take a look at road magnets. Quite possibly the lowest you'll get with springs.

I wanna say that the company states on that page for the AWD that they were developed for AWD, but they'll work perfectly fine with RWD. Shoot them an email. They'd probably be able to explain it better. Good luck

Yea, I asked before and they have a set for rwd. Road magnets will do it, but Coils are really the way to go if you are really particular about getting the right drop you want.

The lowest springs for the ISX50 is the Road Magnets which drops the car 2 inches. I will try to post a pic later I have them on my 2011 IS250.
