lebon So did you get yours directly from the states or was it from mail order.
I take it that if you install the springs you also have to get the camber adjusters?
I bought them in Houston, Texas and brought them back with me. The extra drop on the front meant I had to fit aftermarket camber adjusters to the front only to bring it back within the acceptable camber tolerances (there's no camber or castor adjustment as standard on the second generation IS, only toe adjustment). The European Eibachs Pro Springset only drops the front 30mm so it's still within the Lexus tolerances. The rear on mine was dropped 25.4mm and I didn't notice adverse wear due to the slight additional camber within tolerances.

lebon Another words having Eibach springs you could lower it up to 30mm and wont need the aftermarket camber adjusters as its still within Lexus tolerance but with the coilovers you could drop it further but then you would need the camber adjusters is that right.
Dont think this is true I think it depends on where your setting are currently at and how much more they need adjusting...

That's a rather good observation, and one I haven't seen discussed before. It would be a good idea to ask Tony Bones for his opinion re. coilovers and the way they change the geometry if they are constantly being adjusted.

Was initially thinking of fitting the eibach springs but then was swayed to go with the coil overs but now having seen your is250 with eibach I am not sure now. Ideally I don't want to be fitting the camber adjusters but if the coil overs are going to give me a better ride then I guess it's worth it.
