thanks. i'm sold. coilovers it is.

how are these on long distance trips though? like 1000+ miles? Doesn't matter? And do I need to get an alignment done immediately after getting coilovers installed?

Wait a week and once they have settled and you know you are at the height you want then get it aligned.

Because F sport are expensive! But don't forget you're getting better shocks as well. Coils don't give you shocks! If you get coils and shocks it'd be even more than springs n shocks.

Most Cars will actually ride better when dropped mildly on coilovers.

True true. A lot of customization indeed.

Sorry bro but all coilover on lexus come complete swap. This isnt a honda were it just the spring and sleves. If you add up the price of fsport spring and shock . It cost more than getting a Megan coilover.
