Default Lowering Question?

ok, so we have had our 2017 200T F Sport since November of last year and I have been searching for wheels/tires and things to do to it. this car is leased and we plan to flip it next November but we still have at least one full year to drive it before that happens. so, do I simply swap wheels and tires and leave it be or should I just add spacers to the stock wheels and possibly lower the front end at least?

for those of you guys who lowered yours, how hard is it to lower these cars? I have never modded a Lexus, but plenty of Mustangs and trucks. I just don't want to spend a fortune on a lease vehicle we know we aren't keeping. but, I don't want to half *** it either. recommendations on springs would be great too. this is my wife's daily driver, so ride comfort is important, just saying. I appreciate any help/advice you can give. also, post up your pics if you want...

Its not hard to lower the car. Relatively cheap too.

Everyone has their own opinion on if its worth modding a leased car or not.. Plenty of people do it though.

As long as you buy parts that you can resell, I don't see why not.

what would you recommend spring wise? moderate drop and comfort being number #1...
