Default Help please!!!

I am new to this and need advise. I own a 2007 Lexus is350 and am looking to lower it enough to still fit a finger I'm between tire and fender. I have stock 18" rims . I am looking into buy lowering springs but don't know what is the best for my buck. I also don't want my car bouncing around all over the place . I need to know what are my options and what all parts I need besides the springs to do the job right. I don't want my tires caving in later because I didn't buy everything. Please help thanks

welcome to the forum... if your trying to get a specific height I would recommend going with coilover's that way you can adjust it to the height you want. Circuit motorsports has some great deals on BC coils check them out

Get the F sport lowering spring kit. It will lower it like how you describe you wanted.

H&R springs. Lots of info on the forum if you search for it.

Welcome to CL. Coilovers such as BC Racing or Megan LP if you can afford them to best dial in the exact height you want.

Road Magnet (lowest springs on the market) or H&R springs for the lower of the springs out there.

Just remember that when you lower the car itll change the ride a bit.

Btw: are you Chapin?
