Got the springs put on today. Ride is much different. A lot more stiff and will take getting used to. I still have the OE wheels on for one more week. New rims should be coming in next week. Wanted to transition over slowly. I had the Tanabe NF210 on my other Lexus and man what a difference. I think these H&R springs are definitely more stiff! The drop looks great, about 1.4", just a hair lower than the Fsport springs.
Will post pix when wheels come in.

Looks good, stock shocks? Can you provide part number and price you paid?

Yes, original struts. Springs were H&R, they are for a '12-'14 Camry V6. Part # 54686-2.
1.3"F, 1.4"R drop, they were around $240/set
it took me trial and error to learn which ones fit our cars. These fit perfectly, they sit in the grooves of the original struts like the OEM spring do.

Thanks for the info. Shop that lowered my Porsche claims OEM struts are only good for about 50k miles, even on a Lexus. Seems strange as I have 105k now and no issues with the suspension. Wondering if I can forego new struts...
Either way it's $400 install and initial search prices on springs is $230.

Bumping the thread from the dead. Thanks to the OP for the correct part number for H&R sport springs. Mine are installed, will take better pics with the car clean outside after alignment is done. Install went smoothly, drop is perfect, no wheel gap.

looks perfect. Was the alignment due to new springs?
