So my car doesn't have the stock IS250 Height that you see on most vehicles. Mine is actually lower than the others. I have a 2006 Lexus IS250 MT RWD and the way i see it is that i need 1.0" in the front and 1.4' in the back. Are there any springs that would do that? Am I calculating it wrong? Or do I have to get coilovers? OR am I too dumb and that I'm guessing wrong?

Do you have sport aluminum pedals and HIDs? If so, you have the sport package that is a bit lower than the standard springs. However, if you are wanting to lower the car, then it doesn't really matter.

If you want to go with springs, most people seem to choose the F sport (which won't lower you very much), H&R (I would recommend these) or there's a couple other brands that have been reviewed on the forum.

If your car has higher mileage, like around 100,000kms, I would recommend either getting new shocks as well or just grab a set of coilovers. Not long after installing my H&R springs, my shocks went bad. Ended up just putting in Megan EZ Street coilovers for about $700.

Yes I do have the Sports Package with Aluminum Pedals and HIDs. Also I'm trying to find someone selling a pair of Headlight for me because the passenger side is cracked and its hard to find some that has AFS in them. The Dealership is asking $3200 CAD for both. My Car also is around 140xxx

Go for coils! With springs youre stuck with the ride height and stiffness, but coils give u the opportunity to adjust. It may cost more, but definitely worth it in the long run.
Even if you buy new shocks, most aftermarket springs are progressive, and its very difficult to calibrate the shocks to compensate for the progressive rate of the springs --- long story short: you'll wear out your shocks.
Coils allow adjustability, and if you go with BC coilovers, they are fully rebuildable.

i have the TIEN S.Tech springs on my 2IS. i am satisfied with them but it still leaves a wheel gap, which is fine for me since i am getting larger rims. Overall, i would suggest coil overs. you wont have to be iffy about specs, as much.
