Hundreds of threads for you to search. If you have the money get coilovers.

There are sub-forums directly above this forum...check out the suspension section.

Yeah I have an AWD and I was going to get springs, but ended up with coils. I would have regretted getting the springs unless you go with the Road Magnets. The H&R's just would not have had the drop that I was looking for. I have the megan ez coilovers.

the first link is for a RWD but you will find plenty answers in the suspension & brakes subforum. IMO Coilovers all the way.

depends on how low you want to go, if conservative drop then springs is fine but if you want like 1 finger gap to 0 then coilovers for sure, trust me I'm in the same boat for my 350 haha

Megan ez coilvers and road magnets are my top choices hows the ride on megans??

I have Megan LP coilovers and I love them. they're really good quality and the ride quality isn't that bad. It depends how tolerant you are and what you are going for. If you are planning on running an aggressive wheel setup, get coilovers with stiffer spring rates. But if you aren't doing so and you're not picky than the Megan EZ's will be just fine. Most members here on clublexus use the Megan EZ's and for the most part, no complaints. I would always say coilovers > springs, because you can adjust them how you'd like. I've been in this position, bought springs, then had to sell them because I wanted to go lower and just to have the ability to adjust my ride height and damper.

I've got coilovers sitting at home waiting to be installed... I was considering springs, but there are some very affordable coilovers for the IS so it is hard not to just go with coils. I see too many spring setups that have uneven/weird looking drops so I did not want to waste money on springs and be unhappy with the look... I'm very picky, so I waited and found a good deal on some used coils.

The only negative I've heard about the Megan EZ's is that they were too soft. I like my Megan LP's a lot!

Coilovers, I start from spring and finished on air haha but defo coilovers!!!

True story- I ran on springs for awhile and the drop was absolutely perfect on 19s... until my shocks started to go. That dropped the rear a bit too low on bumps, caused rubbing, couldn't carry passengers in back, that sort of stuff. Then when I had to get new tires, I couldn't fit a tire in the well that had the load rating I wanted. They were cheap and a few hours to install on a weekend so it was worth a shot, and looked great for a year but I would never recommend.

Get a good quality coilover. Just know what mileage they need to be rebuilt at.

yep like everyone said go coils, if you don't wanna spend to much, i heard the Megan LPs would do the job just fine, but if you have a little more cash to spend, i would say BC racing.
