Default Spring recommendations...

Looking to lower an IS250, not too drastically, but tastefully. It's a daily driver, so the closer to stock feel the better (I know the drawbacks to lowering too well with my Mustang). Right now I am torn between the F Sport springs, and the Tein H. Tech Springs. Which of the 2 will give a better ride, and also give the car a nice stance?

between those 2 choices i would go with the f-sport springs. if you wanted to go lower, consider h&r or tein s-techs.

Not looking to slam it, just give it a better stance and better handling, but has to still be reasonable for daily driving.

That looks good. Does it have that "horrid clunk" that people speak of, or did you take care of that? I may just look into these especially with having the club discount at Sewell.

I also chose H&R Sport Springs. I didn't care for slamming the ride but I wanted it lower than the F-Sport springs.
