Default Question about lowering my IS350 Sport

I am currently on the Sports Package springs and would like to lower my car just a little more to get rid of the wheel gap since I'm on 19's. Basically, my question is which springs are a little lower than the Sports Package springs? I heard the Eibach Pro-Kits are about the same as the Sports Package and the Teins might be a little too low. I don't want to go too low that I have to worry about every bump on the road or going up drive-ways. So if anyone has some suggestions or input, I would really appreciate it.

I personally like the Teins, on 19s you will have very minimal wheel gap. If you look for Hartawan and a few other members have it and its perfect. Its a even drop not like the Tanabe, Eibachs are a bit higher and provides a pretty good drop also but I like something with no wheel gap.

Okay, thanks for your replies. So if I get Teins, would it be okay to run those with the stock struts? I've always thought that if you lower your car with new springs you would need to change the struts to some kind of performance struts.

I have the Tein's with 20's and I didn't change anything. It's actually in the shop right now getting the CV boot replaced as it sits there waiting to be told weather or not it's Warranty is voided.

My advice to you if you do get the Teins, If you have any problems with the car, suspension or drive-train related, switch it back to stock first. Haha
