I have coilovers on my IS300 I think most would agree that once you drop the car to where you want it that you never end up adjusting them ever again anyway. Because its def. a pain in the *** to get it perfectly even on both sides do to slight weight differences especially when you have to take the wheels off a million times to access the nuts. And ide have to say 70% of coilovers are a harsh ride even with the BS 32adjustments some come with. Luckily for me the Tein CS on my IS300 are a very comfortable ride.
I think im gonna go with the 250 prokit springs for my AWD. Looks like an even drop and would like to still be able to drive through deep snow if need be.

I think the F-Sport has the best drop and anything lower makes the car look bad. I don't understand the point of dropping the car so that it looks like the car is screwed up.

From the pictures it looks a little uneven and leaves a bit of gap with the F-sports, while some others it looks lowered perfectly. Id say the only way to over do it is with coilovers and just lowering the car way too low.

correct me if im wrong... but since you JUST bought the Fsport springs, maybe you should keep it a bit longer until it settles in.. it might actually be lower than you expected 
..
I use NF210 for IS350 on my AWD... Front still little higher.. 1" R and .08"F.. but I think the drop is perfect..

OP...keep us updated on what you decide...because I'll be in the same positiion too soon as I'm going to start looking for springs...I hear Road Magnets are good...I think it was a 2" drop

Its a perfect drop, aggressive without being over the top (IMO Road Mag's are a bit too low) H&R's are EXTREMELY even looking as well, front to back.
Ride is a little harder then F-Sports but I'm very pleased with the look. Will post pics shortly.

Alright, here they are... pics of the H&R Drop. I'm very satisfied with this 'look'. Its pretty aggressive looking without getting out of hand. Keep in mind this is an AWD as well... NO WAY you can say this sits a full inch higher then others on H&R's and RWD... perhaps the AWD's sit higher on stock springs, but after this drop, sorry, I just don't see an inch higher... had to say that. Anyway, enjoy, hopefully this helps others in the future make a more educated decision then I did
