I am not sure why dint they pick up on the track rod end when they did the full geo also not sure if they are able to do a full geo if the track rod is bent. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong here

Will pm you,if thats ok

Finally had the eibach springs fitted last Thursday. Verdict so far on motorways cant really tell the difference as did not have the chance to push the car, on A road feels really planted especially on corners, the ride comfortabilty feels the same which is a good thing and it looks much better. All in all quite happy with the springs but it still tramlines. Anyway thanks to Tony for sorting it out but I must point out though that a remark said by one of your colleague has left a bad taste.

Thanks Terry,now all I got to do is order the springs and hopefully get an appointment sorted for 2nd week in September with WIM.

Coilovers are height adjustable via the spring perches that are threaded onto the shock body. The shocks normally offer a range of adjustability that can include shock compression (the downward stroke) and rebound (the upward stroke of the shock as the suspension unloads) with as many as 15 or more settings for each. As you appear to have a fixed 30mm drop in mind, this range of adjustment doesn't appear to be essential to your needs. The other feature of coilovers is the ability to change the stiffness of the shock absorbers, but the Eibach Pro Springset is a very good compromise for a road car in being slightly stiffer without totally ruining the ride comfort. I found the standard shock absorbers to be perfectly adequate even with the lower ride height with the American spec springs. Assuming you're not wanting to alter the ride height and stiffness every week-end for putting the car on the track, I'd say lowering springs are what you need. However, if money isn't a concern and you or you want to play with the settings then buy coilovers. Yes 30mm is what I have in mind and thats because dropping any lower requires after market camber adjusters which is not the route I want to take, but having said that all I am looking for is handling/ride comfort and if the springs can do that then I would go for the Eibachs.

That was an expensive 8.1mm then If I were you Suren, I would ask WIM to fit the European Specification EiBach Pro Springset which will drop the car 30mm all round. The front of my 250 was dropped 1.5" (38.1mm) but the rear was only 1" (25.4mm). So you reckon it should be EiBach springs and not the coilovers, even with a 17'' wheels. I do want to drop the front to 30mm not sure about the rear without using the camber adjusters but confused between coilovers or springs so any suggestions are welcome. Yes and I would like WIM to fit them.

Thanks Tony, thats a saving then

The toe on an IS250 adjustable right?, now i believe the reason why tango fitted an after market front camber adjusters was because of uneven wear on his tyres. Do you think I would need a front camber adjusters if I am lowering my car with coilovers. Thanks

It was the same adjusters used on Tango's car but not sure if I would need a rear adjusters as I am thinking fitting a coilover instead of springs. Thanks

Hi Tony, Sory to bump here If I were to fit the coilovers on to my IS250, I would need an aftermarket camber adjusters but do I need one for the rear to.

Yes why my car and why only happening in the last 4 months, never was like this prior to that it was a joy to drive it now I feel like binning it

No Tony its not missing, but is there a solution for the aerodynamics poblem.

If it is an aerodynamic issue is there a solution to it? Sorry but what do you mean by if any trim is missing? What do I need to look for?

It feels a little like that but more of not 'planted' at speeds over 60. Like you feel the car is going to take off

No but increases your fuel consumption lol
