Default Drop?

I have seen many photos of lowered/dropped ISx50's and I think they look real nice.

I, however, have no idea about the process involved.

Can someone tell me some information such as:
Are additional parts needed?
How much of a drop?
Does this come with warranty issues?
Any other helpful information/concerns with such a mod?

You'll need either springs or coilover or airbags to drop your car, and the drop will depends on what brand you go with because they all varies, and warranty wont cover your aftermarket part unless you use their F-Sport springs from Lexus, it doesn't mean that the whole car is void from warranty just anything that they can prove cause the damage resulting of your drop.

Thanks, I realize it was a newbie question. I've done some looking in the forums and I now know that it's either new springs, coil overs or airbags. What can I say...I'm just getting into all this.

I like the look of the IS2s that have been dropped real REAL low but I also see that many have posted having issues when dropped that low.

I am considering the f-sport springs because I do occasionally drive on some rough roads where I am located. I also just want a subtle to moderate drop since I want to deal with no issues that come along with a real low drop. 1.2 inches though..hmm. From what i've seen that's just right on the border of being worth the cost (labor mostly).

Can someone with f-sport springs tell me if, in their opinion, the drop is certainly noticeable and sufficient? I have seen one post of a person who posted close-ups of before and after. I'm up in the air if it's worth the money for 1.2 inches. Maybe some more opinions/pics would help.
