Default Best Coilovers to get for IS350?

So my struts are going to to need to be replaced soon. So I am debating on rather I should just replace the struts with the lowering springs I have for the car or to just get coilovers. I here coilovers give you the nicer ride and are adjustable. What do you guys think?

I think you should go with BC Racing coilovers. They give you a great ride, are super reliable and comfortable.
Plus we can do them with free shipping, free custom spring rates and free extreme drop kit if you wanted.

Interesting. I will definitely keep that in mind. I am not necessarily trying to by the coilovers at this exact moment (more like looking around and having done all the research for when it is time). Thank you though for that heads up!

If you don't care about ride height adjustability, then a Koni suspension kit (shocks plus matching springs). If you do, then you've got BC Racing, Fortune 500, and HKS coilovers in that price range.

I haven't heard one bad thing about BC Racing other than the price. So if you're willing to spend the money, from what I read they outperform everything else.

Appreciate that input guys! Definitely will probably end up getting those within the next couple months then! One more question, will I need a camber kit as well to go along with the coilovers or no?

It depends how low you are planning to set the car at. My car has about a 1/2 inch gap for the fronts and 1 inch gap in the back and all I needed was a camber kit for the front wheels.
