Post What kind of coilovers should I get?

Looking for some feedback and help with picking out a good set of coil overs that's reasonably priced.

It's going on a 2011 IS250 F Sport.

Any advice would be great

it depends on what your car is going to be used as.
if you are just going for height adjust ability, then any coils out there on the market would work for you.

i would highly recommend getting a used set with low mileage if you are on a budget

They are for cosmetic appeal, not performance.

My friends have suggested a used set of bc racing and I see they are in the $650-$750 range, which is what I am prepared to spend.

But is it worth it to spend that much if they aren't really being purchased for performance? I will look into Megan EZ, any other brands you could recommend? Thank you!

If you just want them to lower your ride height then any used reasonably priced coils should do.

I would suggest either the used BCR route or the Megan EZs in your case.
