Default Advice? F-Sports or NF210's???

wanting to lower my car fellas; kinda stuck between fsports and nf210s. i dont want "too" much of a drop, looking for about an inch. i still want a close to stock smooth ride quality. i will be using stock shocks for now until they go out, then i will be going to coils, just wanna replace springs. with stock wheels. rear wheel drive btw! thanks!

I'd go F-Sport, but if I had to go 3rd party, it'd be Swift Springs.

Well F-Sport the drop is almost negligible, you almost won't even notice it. NF210's are very conservative as well but you can tell you dropped it at least. I had NF210's and they dropped it perfectly without making driving everyday a hassle!

Check this out if you want an F-Sport drop https://www.clublexus.com/forums/3ge...t-springs.html

Seems to me, they would sit almost identical. Here are the specs:

Tanabe nf210 (07+)
F: 1.1" 4.6
R: 0.8" 5.8

F-Sport
F: 1.0"
R: 1.0"

I'd personally go F-Sport since it sits a bit more level(based on the numbers).

gojeezy, go with either or. Personally I dont think you will notice the difference between the two. You're RWD, so they will both drop it about an inch which I think is perfect for a static 1 inch drop for the RWD model.

BTW, you work at S&S or just promoting for friends? I'm in Sac and in the market for a new set of tires..

Thanks a lot everybody! i greatly appreciate all your replies and suggestions. i will keep it all in mind as soon as i get my refund back and am ready to lower my baby...
i am leaning towards the nf210's, but will most likely grab the set that i can find a better deal on out of the 2 since they are pretty similar of a drop

As an FYI - F-sports are on ebay right now for $232 and change(free shipping). This is from North Miami Lexus, whom I've bought from and they are great.
