I put on S-techs and I love them. The drop is perfect for me, just enough to fix the ugly @ss gap with the stock springs. The suspension is also more firm and handles superb without sacrificing ride quality too much.

Yes, that's how my Eibach 350 springs were done and alignment is still spot-on.

They make sway and springs for the IS350. I would stay away from the springs. The sways are nice and I got them with the springs for a good price. If I change out my springs not a big $$ loss. The car looks great sitting still but the ride blows. I'm not sure what I will go with next.

rarely people drop their car with H.Tech... first they are not really that much more comfy than S-Tech and it is not as aggressive.. to me

Not a likely scenario if you want to go lower. There have been reviews on the lower H&R springs, considerably stiffer ride.
