Default Best way to lower my is250?????

Just bought wheels for my is 250, 20x8.5 up front with a 35mm offset running 225/30/20 and 20x10 in the rear with a 45mm offset running a 275/30/20. I want to lower the car a little just to make it look a little better but don't want to sacrifice the quality of the ride, my car always has my family in it and don't want to hit the tires, what the best way to lower it. Thanks

Struts/Springs or coilovers. Most springs that you can buy are progressive springs, which are not as predictable as linear springs. However, a quality set of struts such as Koni can make up for this.

My personal preference is coilovers b/c they have more adjustability and the springs and dampers are designed to work together well.

I love my coils but if you just want a simple drop with no rubbing get springs

many people around here seem to be recommending H&R Sport springs. I think these are what I'm going to purchase when i lower on 19" wheels. check them out.
