Default Elimination of 4x4 Height

I am new to the Lexus forum, but not to modding. I hope this isn't a question that gets asked every other day, but at the risk of redundancy, I'll ask anyway!

Is there a way to lower our cars without changing the factory set ride comfort. Personally, I've owned the Eibach Pro Kit (at the recommendation of folks claiming that the ride barely changed) on a previous vehicle and the ride difference was drastic (not bad, just different). I have Bilstein PSS9's on my S4 and love them, but that car is set-up for the twisties and I don't mind the harsher ride. The IS is meant for comfortable daily driving with an occasional burst of horsepower induced lunacy. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

I honestly dont know how the Eibachs ride, but I have the Tein Stechs and theyre nice as hell. Very very similar to stock.

Any problems dragging on driveways/speed bumps?

Tein CS coilovers. I think they ride better than stock, but you can adjust the damping 16 different ways. I have mine on 8 in front and 9 in rear.
