Default Same springs for IS250 and IS250 C?

Hey everyone, im thinking about lowering my ISC but im not sure what springs to get. The parts dept. at my local dealership says that there are two seperate spring kits for an IS vs. an ISC but im leaning away from the Lexus part because the drop is only one inch and i dont think its enough. I know I do not want too go too much lower than that but I was looking into the Megan springs. Ive read some of your recommendations on other threads but on the megan website it does not specify if you can use them on the convertible. Id like to try to preserve as much of the ride quality as possible - I just want the look. How badly will my "drive" be affected by just replacing the springs? Id appreciate any and all advise, thank you.

sedan springs are different than vert springs.

If you want to lower your vert, then I would HIGHLY suggest getting the F-sport springs, as they were made specifically for the ISC.

Also, F-sport springs lower front 1.25", rear ~0.85" There's a few pics of ISC's with the f-sport springs if you want to see how it looks.

for ride quality: I've got the springs and shocks, and it maybe took away a little bit of the plush ride.....and, on some roads, it actually improved the ride. Overall it's still VERY nice, and IMO the way it should have come from the factory. Still rides like a luxury vert, but with more sport.
