Pi Springs

[Flowithme]

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to find out about lowering my IS200se with PI springs by a 35mm drop. Basically I keep noticing on the forum that the Eibach's are probably the prefered springs to be used in this car but have been quoted a good price to get the car lowered with PI springs which I think is 5mm lower than the Eibachs, I now need to know if there would be any difference bettween the two apart from the 5mm difference and also any problems I might encounter if I lower by 35mm and put a set of 18" alloys?

My view is you get what you pay for ;)

My view is you get what you pay for ;)

In that case everyone should shop at TDi....

They'd get tons and tons of stuff :P

Ummm, naughty ... :winky:

I sense a stiring in the force.

Does this mean that the PI springs are crap? I have'nt a clue with all of this stuff and all I require is advice, should I or should'nt I go for the PI springs? I need to know if the only difference is with the brand? Or are they just not worth fitting, I don't mind paying the bling to get Eibach's fitted but if the only difference is brand then I'll settle for the PI's as I can get a better deal when I purchase springs,alloys and tyres together.

Sorry mate, wouldn't take them if they were given for free if i was you i would not buy the Pi springs, they are crap, they are soft, and do not last long, they are ok for small, light cars, but i would not put them in a Lex for sure.

Easiest option is either go for the Eibachs (30mm) or try and get hold of H&R's (35mm), both of these are made of good quality and will last for a long time.. yous won't have any problems with these 2 makes.. :winky:

(I had the H&R's - Now sold - Bought the Tein SS Coilovers)

Hi,

I got Eibach springs, and even posted a review

I got Eibachs because the are highly reccomended, so much so, if you order the official TTE lowering springs from Lexus, they are re-badged Eibach ones.

[AMH]

I've just had TTE's fitted and agree with Ians review - the handling difference even before the tracking re-alignment is incredible - corners just so flat now.

Ride is harsher but I can live with that - motorways are fine, bumpy bad roads just hit a bit harder that's all. :D
