Default Need your opinion on lowering springs...

hi guys! i recently purchase an 08 is250 awd (matador red), i needed a new car and i just love the looks of it...anyways, i am not so into going all out on hooking it up like most of you i assume...but, i just like look of a nice lowered car with some nice rims...i just recently purchased a nice oem lexus rims of craigslist and im getting it powder coated as we speak...

im curious on what you guys suggest as far as lowering springs...im doing some research and i see tein, h&r, and eibach...i want a nice drop and also still good when it comes to handling and performance...i read that eibach's are good on performance but it doesn't drop it as much....a friend of mine also suggested h&r, he said its pretty good and it has a nice drop...

any opinions, suggestions are greatly appreciated...thanks in advance!

I have a set of h&r springs and I really like the drop. It still rides smooth with oem wheels and aftermarket wheels as well. It lowers it down from a 4 finger gap down to 1 finger gap on the wheel well. Its a great drop. If you're looking into buying a set let me know because I just got some coil overs and my h&r springs will be for sale with in a week or so.

Yea, h&r are popular. I have heard a lot of good things about them.

lots of good springs out there for ISX50 but you get what you pay for..so if it looks really cheap..don't get it lol...H&r , eibach, tein, like you metioned are best sellers out there.....but If your on fb and IG and you see these slammed ISs you might change your mind and go to coils...so to you money and time my opinion is just gostraight coils...its adjustable

Quick question ; my H&R springs came in today. The box is labeled 52428. But the springs are marked 29122 HA and 29122 VA. I googled and found this pic from a European site.
