Default How low can i go?

Looking to lower my 08 awd is250.
I dont want to deal with realignment after lowering.
How low can i go before running into alignment issues.
Ive been looking at h&r whoch are roughly 1.4 fronts and 1.3 rears (dont quote me on it)
will this be too much?

you will have to deal with re-aligning the wheels after any drop.

Ok ill rephrase my questoin, I understand ill have to realign regardless how low I go.
More specifically, with the H&R springs after realainging do you still fall within the manufacturers specs?

Also can someone answer whether or not their h&r springs on an awd after lowered sit at the 25" from ground to fender?

I had Eibach springs before which lower 1.4 inch front and 1 inch back, very similar to H&R. My alignments are still within Lexus alignment specs but the cambers are almost outside.

Did your tires wear excesively on the inside or outside with the camber being border line?
