Default H&R Lowering Springs worth it on my AWD 06 IS250?

Is the drop worth it? Will i end up replacing my stock struts faster? Is the ride still good? Will i end up replacing a bunch of suspension parts due to the stress from being lowered!? If so what parts are most common!?? Thanks!

I would say H&R lowering springs is a bit more than your average subtle drop it does get rid of most of the wheel gap. From what I've read the ride is still good but since the springs are progressive, driving over bumpy roads can be horrifying. You will always run the risk of suspension parts wearing quicker when you ride at a lower height. It's possible to run these springs on stock shocks but it's recommended to get a set of aftermarket shocks.

It wont get very low
If you really want to go low by coilovers

If you decide to go with springs it wont really use your suspension parts
