Sportcross lowering with 2001 sedan springs?
From my understanding, Lexus made a change on the IS300 to sit .6 inch higher after 2001.
I have an 02 sportcross and looking for mild lowering and OEM-like spring rates. I read on another forum that sportcross springs are either taller than sedan, have a higher rate, or both.
So the thinking is to source some OEM 2001 sedan springs to use on a 2002 sportcross.
No interest in 2" drop or coils, the car came with a new set of Koni yellows and my clients see the car so any changes need to be subtle.
Thoughts and input appreciated.

True, the sportcross is about half an in higher in the rear, someone in my.is used the sedan stock rear springs to lower the back only. Levels it out a little.
I prefer the 2 in drop on my SportX 😉
