I have a 2010 IS250 with AWD and I lowered it with H&R sport springs which cost me around $220. It makes such a huge difference on the appearance of the car. It makes the car look meaner.

As for the drive, there is very MINIMAL vibration when I take my foot of the gas and coast down the road. If my foot is on the gas or the brake, there is no problems at all; you only feel it when coasting and even then, it is barely noticeable and you'll forget about it within a week.

Man I could go on and on about why coilovers are the go to choice over springs and why majority of shock users switch over.

But at the end of the day, its definitely worth it.

BC Racing Coilover will give you that comfortable and low drop. I order Swift Spring but change my mind because I also need 4 new shock.

If you're on a budget, megan ez coilovers are definitely something to look at. They are very well known on CL and have some decent reviews on them. I saved up for BC's so I could have a tad more adjustability for ride stiffness.
They are both the same parent company fyi. BC's apparently are a bit sturdier-feeling.
