Welcome! Who makes lowering springs for the ES? Will you change out the shocks as well?

20x8.5 with 35 offset Niche all around with Megan Racing springs which I was annoyed by the sag in the rear but since I put wheels on looks nice. Still going to invest in BC Racing coilovers overs. But for now will leave it alone.

Looks Awesome. I have Lexus ES 350 2014.
also ordered Niche rims 19x8.5 all rims and al tires - 235/35/19. I also ordered springs to lower the car by 1.5 inch ( Toyota Camry 07-2011 springs ). I have couple questions If someone can answer:

1. will 235/35/19 sit perfectly with 19x8.5 rims ( 35 offset ). Or did I have to go with 235/45/19 to protect rims from pat holes Orr rubbers? Or maybe I had to go with 18 but I could not find good 18 rims.

2. Are those Toyota springs better than Megan racing springs if I want to lower my car ? I’ve seen many people used Toyota springs

3. Why do you consider BC racing coil overs better than Toyota springs to lower car ? Sorry I am new to all of this.

Love where you're going with the build. Here's my 5th gen ES project build. 19x9 Leon Hardiritt Orden three piece wheels on BC coils. I have slight rubbing after rolling and pulling the fenders from sitting too low but will camber the arms to get lip to fender look.

Current mods: Leon Hardiritt Ordens, BC Coilovers, Custom VIP table tray, Megan racing strut bar, K&N CAI, muffler + resonator delete, roof wrap in gloss black, full LED conversion, sideskirts, trunk and rear window spoiler, two 12" Fosgate subs, Junction Produce neck pillows and Fusa Knot.

Mods in the future: trunk setup with wood flooring, Airlift 3p management, custom double diamond stitched interior.
