i have read numerous threads about springs and I am still undecded about which set of spring sto purchase.
I am looking for the most agressive drop more than 1 inch but I would like to retain the smooth ride of my IS 350. Any recommendations? Thanks

I would recommend the Road Magnet springs which have an approximate 1.5" drop and are also guaranteed FOR LIFE. They will also provide a drop without "settling" which happens with a lot of springs that after a few years become unusable because they continue to "settle" and affect ride quality.

If the aftermarket spring rates and drop are close to stock, then you shouldn't have problems with sticking with the OEM shocks.

I would still say shocks/struts play a bigger role than springs in ride quality than most people suspect
