Default lowering springs & cross drilled rotors for '07 GS350

I'm a proud owner of a new GS350. I want to do some simple modifications to it to give it the clean look. It has 18" mesh style rims on them (stock tire specs) and there's a big 4" gap between the wheels and fenders. I want to install some lowering springs on them. Do you guys have any recommendations on brands? I've just looked up some Eibachs and they take out 1.2"(front) and 1.3"(rear). Are these good or should I get these Tanabe (1.3" fronts and 0.9" rears)?

Also anybody have any suggestions on brands and what to look for when buying cross-drilled/slotted brake rotors?

Here are some pictures from the dealer of my ride.

4" gap.. is it an awd. I would never spend the money on custom whells and get the same size as factory. It defeats the purpose in my eyes. I know you may be trying to go relative conservative initially because you just got her, but trust me you wont mess her up with 20's and a drop. I have had trein h techs on factory shocks and just upgraded to the full tein cst set up with the EDFC box. What I am realizing is that the suspensions sold for this car are all set up for a very very very comfortable ride relative to what I have seen in working my G35 sedan. Stuff for the G35 is usually compatible with the 350z so the parts are all almost track worthy.

That's a nice ride you have there. I bought the car with the rims on them already. Yea if I was going to put out the cash for new rims I would do 20"s as well. I too anxious so I went ahead and had Eibachs put on over the weekend. It looks a lot better now. I'll upload some pictures once I get it back from the body shop (I'm having the black pearl "L" logos put on and taking off the "Lexus" and "GS350" emblems on the trunk lids.
