Default 【IS250 AWD】 H&R vs. Road Magnet

Hi, I've a 2009 IS250 AWD and looking for drop springs.

Seems like there's not many specifically made for the AWD model.
I found H&R Sport, Tanabe NF210 & Road Magnet. The Tanabe are hella expensive here for some reason and is a very slight drop so I took it off the list.

Now it's down to H&R (1.4f, 1.3r) and RM (2.0 all around).

My friend told me to go RM because he says with the H&R I will regret it down the road and spend more money either on lower drop springs or coils, so he says do it once, do it right.

However, I've also been reading that any drop over 1.5 is very unsafe for the shocks and camber.

So before I make a final decision on what to buy, I'd like your expert opinions.

I want good looks, good handling, but also want to be safe.

If anyone has an IS250 AWD and got either H&R or RM springs please share your experience. For all others, please share your knowledge!

Thanks!

EDIT: I'm on stock wheels right now (225/45R17) but definitely looking to upsize to 18 in future.
