Question IS250 Springs+Shock recommend please

Hi there.

Mechanic said my right rear shock is leaking.

Can you recommend what shock+spring to buy for

- close to stock comfort
- slightly lower

Shortlist at moment is Tein H Tech (they say its close to stock)
Or Tokico (apparently IS250-X) uses it? Is it sportier than oem or same?

Recommendations/links appreciated.
I'm in australia so they have to ship international

F-sport shocks and F-sport springs(1" drop).
$700(something) +$299 + free installation at the dealer too.
I'm getting these when my shocks need to be replaced.

Update: Bought Tokico Blue HP Strut Set $500 + Tein H Tech springs $220 from ebay.

Do I need to buy anything else to take to mechanic for installation?

Eg for sway bar one guy recommended buying new end-links to go with it.

How are you getting free installation? Is that a local dealer promotion or is it a national campaign of some kind?
