Dissapointed with my drop (F-Sport)... What springs should I get? (pics included)

Alright, and last but not least here's a picture of the 'Lexus Lean', my right side. Gotta get this out the way... be nice to just show you my left but lets be honest and show my slightly higher right side. (If your right side isn't higher, congrats and move along... you wont have to deal w/ the Lexus Lean). My right side sits 1/4 inch higher then my left... frustrating but I'll deal and save my money not going coilovers. Considering this is someting inherent with the car, overall I'm satisfied with this spring drop and wont be looking for a suspension drop anymore. It's miles better then the F-Sport.
All and all, I still think it looks darn good and I'm satisfied

The rears did drop about 1/4 of an inch from the F-Sports... not a whole lot (yet). These pictures are taken 1 day after install, so we'll see... but the front, ah the front! Now its even... Stinkin F-Sports leave your fronts looking awkwardly high compared to the back. This is just about as even as you can get without dising thousands on coils...

Yes the front is irking me a lot, my car looks good when its parked nose pointed down on a slope, and so I have become an expert in parking in places with slopes, with my nose pointing downhill lol

Oooooo very nice 
And those wheels look pretty awesome too, if I do say so myself 
I have the Eibach Pro Kit springs (on my 250, non-AWD) and when I put those same wheels on my car, my car no longer looked low enough for me
But, I'm lazy and don't feel like dishing out more $$$ so my car remains high haha
Nice choice you went with

haha, you got to compare the left side of his car though.....the right side is higher. Just playing. I can only say that because I'm running H&R's too and have a similar ride height difference as well on the right side.

I spoke w/ H&R at length about this, their RWD vs. AWD sku's and they told me its the same exact spring, no difference whatsoever. They sku them different only for their own internal tracking of what cars are buying them. I bought the "RWD" sku from Tirerack cuz they had it in stock, the AWD was going to take another 3-4 day or so... great price too...
