Default Megan LP or Megan EZ on IS300?

Hey guys I'm still pretty new to this and I'm about to pick up and IS300 and after that I will be getting some coils for it. I'm still on a budget so I narrowed it down to these two coils, The EZ's are still relatively new and are cheaper than the LP's so I just wanted insight on both of them from people that are running these. My goal is to go as low as possible with minimum clearance very similar to these IS's featured on here. I will not be tracking this car and it would mostly be daily driven.

Any help would be great!

Thanks

how long have you had them? and would you have any pics of your car so I can see the ride height?

Also this sounds like a noob question but, is it easy to raise/lower the car with coils? My last car came with teins but i never touched/ adjusted them :/

what ^ said is correct. i have these for daily and its pretty awesome. only downside i see is that riding low on these = upper control arm hitting the strut towers but that might just be mine idk. i dont really mind the sound but it hurts when u hear that noise. overall i really like how the ride is.

Yea if your gonna be slammed on the ground than the EZ's might not be what you want because they are really soft. Very easy to adjust once the wheels are off though. Heres some pics of me playing with them on 19's

Megan EZ are soft even at the stiffest setting but ride isnt too bad... I drove across contry in them. If you're trying to ride slammed I wouldn't do the megan EZ' as your setup. I would spend a few hundred bucks more and get some Stance coilovers. That first link you posted is of is Minh's car and he was on Stance coilovers and he'll tell you they ride stupid low.

i have stance coils on my GS and they can ride pretty low and the ride comfort is pretty good, i also have a friend that has an IS and has stance and he likes them alot because they ride pretty stock and his pretty low also.
