Default Recommend some springs?

Yo -

I'm about to buy of set of 20's for my Lexus, and i figured i should probably lower it a bit too.

These are the wheels i plan on getting -

I want the R-77 forged series but the car broke my bank already.

Anyway if you guys could recommend a good set of springs to put the car on that would be much appreciated.

If you're looking for a mild drop, you can go with the Tein H-Tech or the Tanabe NF210. Eibach Pro-kit offers a medium drop, and the Tanabe DF210 offers the lowest drop.

I have the tein. They are the mildest, but I have had no rubbing. The nf210 will lower you a little more than the h tech (0.3" f and 0.2" r). I went staggered so I decided since I cant rotate my tire to go with the mildest springs to get some realistic wear out of the tires. This car is still pretty heavy so stopping, accelerating, turning are going to wear the tires out quickly. just my 2 cents

Tein H techs on staggered 20's. The pics were taken right after the car was picked up from the shop after spring install. The rear now sits like the front. I have an even 2 finger gap between the tire and the fender
