Im trying to decide on which springs to get. I want sport street springs that look cool but not too low. I want to balance between the lowered look and maintaining every day driveability (too low and Ill be scraping every speed bump and drive way).


Eibach doesn't make springs for the car anymore (WTF?) So that leaves H&R and Tein.


Both have about a 1.4 drop on F and 1.2 R.


Who has either of these springs, and whats been your experience??

MWIS350

Swift spring or BC Racing coilover.

I just googled " lexus is350 eibach springs" and many sites came up that were selling them. The H&R and the teins may be a little low for your taste. I looked at tons of pictures before I bought H&R springs. But I wanted it to sit pretty low. I too still plan on running 18" wheels. So the lower stance of the car helps it not look like the wheels are too small. ( some people's opinions) lol.

You running is350 or is350?
I had the tein s tech on my is350 when I bought it. I thought they were fine. Car drove and handled pretty well, ride was comfortable and it did not bottom out.
I swapped them out for coils because I need to raise the car to get down the alley to my garage in winter. In California, that isn't likely to be an issue.
Coils are fine, and if you decide to go that way, great. But they can clunk (mine do), most will be stiffer than lowering springs, and you may not like that ride, they tend not to last as long as stock shocks and springs, and they'll cost you more. If you want better cornering, are willing to give up a bit of comfort, and want to play with ride height, then they are worth considering. I'm one of those people who like the stiffer ride coils provided, but not everyone does.

I decided not to get lowering springs--will keep the car stock. A lowered car is a hassle driving everyday--watching out for speed bumps, driveways, dips, curbs.


Plus I don't want the lowered boy racer look.

Kent, Scott is speaking the truth, exactly what im gonna say, i know Coil always better at some point but for daily driven Spring is better, unless you live in Canada and winter you have to raise up the car.
