Your shocks are going to be fine. I have H&R springs on my 350 right now with stock shocks for 3 years now. No problems whatsoever. Coilovers are cool, but honestly most people set them to the height they want then never touch them again. Seems to me like you want to eliminate wheel gap, which H&R springs will do. My rear wheels are .5 inch from top of tire to fender and my front wheels are about .75 inch from top of tire to fender.

Don't have to fall into the "oh yeah im getting coilovers cause everyone else said to" crowd. Do what you want and what you can afford, if you do get coilovers, make sure to get quality ones... you drive a lexus, not a pos Honda

well i got the lexus is250 salvaged from auction and im buying all aftermarket parts to custimize it to my needs and so it can get better performance.i think i would rather spend the extra on coilovers instead of springs.money is not an object really but i also dont want to waste a **** ton of money then i already am and ur right its not a honda.got to treat this babe with the best and thats what i will do,so i desided to go with coilovers.
