Default springs?

Im needing to lower my 2007 is350 in order to get that nasty wheel gap in the front wheels, im inclined toward tein, and have read over and over about f sport megan coilovers at a reasonable price and so forth. Im not using it for track just a daily driver with a nicer stance any suggestions. Ive also heard of h&R locally or Eibach, what is a good spring?

Check out the sticky in the suspension section. It has reviews, pictures, and stuff about all the different setups.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...d-for-2is.html

I personally have F-sport springs (Eibach) and really like them. I paired them with the F-sport shocks (bilstein). A lot of members have done springs with stock shocks but I wouldn't. Tein S-Tech and F-Sport/Eibach definitely seem to be the most used springs. H&R seems to have the best looking drop but I've heard the ride is pretty harsh. You can get the f-sport stuff cheap from Sewell Lexus. You can also pair the f-sport Bilstein with any of the springs.

Most will probably tell you to go coil-overs if you're buying the shocks too but if you don't want to adjust ride height I would disagree with them.

imo id get coilovers. you dont have to track the car to have coilovers. ive seen plenty of people over the years on car forums want springs to just lower their car and then within a year they get tired of the look and wish they went lower.

I don't understand the track the car comment. I have serious doubts BCR coils + sways handle better than shocks/springs + sways.
