Welcome to Club Lexus es300jay! I've moved your post into the ES300/ES330 forum where you will likely get better answers.

There are a range of springs available on ebay for the es300. google ... it's friendly.

there is no reason to 'chop springs'. It's dangerous and not a performance modification anyway, since the spring rate is the same the car can easily bottom out, and all the weight of that corner of the car is on the cut edge.

In my country, if you can't find springs for your model of car it is legal to 'compress' the springs using heat to a lower height. They are cooled in oil. It is totally illegal to cut springs in my country it's so dangerous.

re: the exhaust. Why not pay a guy in a shop and support your local community and his family ?
