Hi, I've a 2009 IS250 AWD and looking for drop springs.

Seems like there's not many specifically made for the AWD model.
I found H&R Sport, Tanabe NF210 & Road Magnet. The Tanabe are hella expensive here for some reason and is a very slight drop so I took it off the list.

Now it's down to H&R (1.4f, 1.3r) and RM (2.0 all around).

If anyone has an IS250 AWD and got either H&R or RM springs please share your experience. For all others, please share your knowledge!

Thanks!

EDIT: I'm on stock wheels right now (225/45R17) but definitely looking to upsize to 18 in future.

it's okay...doesn't feel much different since i'm on stock shocks...a little more feedback on small bumps but big bumps the difference is negligible i'd say

it's not a big drop but is decent...something to consider if you want less wheel gap (especially if you driving AWD), but if you want slam look then don't consider it

here's a pic (top=before, bottom=after)

Bringing back a old thread, for all those who has springs on their AWD, any problems with the CV boots? I want to get 18-19" wheels without looking like a 4x4

I had springs for one year and no problem with CV boots. I just now got coils

Which springs did you get, did you get vibrations?

Do you get any vibration troubles? With the drop?
