Default 1999 LS400 Build HELP

What’s up everyone? Looking to get some advice and help with this build, as I am new to this forum. I’ve had this car since day one and I don’t have the heart to get rid of it because I have always loved it. I do want to to play around with the car, and somewhat VIP it. I purchased the MRR wheels in a 20x8.5 wrapped in 245/35/R20 tires. I want to lower the car to have the fenders / quarter panels right above the tires, so not really dumped. I’ve been looking for some adjustable coil overs, however I found that some companies don’t make them for this car. I found that BC and Megan do. I just had the car fully stripped to the metal and it’s getting a new paint job ( factory color, but monotone), as well as a complete run through of the power train, new timing belt and all. Any advice would help, and thanks in advance!

BC and megan are the easiest coilovers to get stateside. there are other companies in japan that make coilovers but they are mainly in japan, and you'll have to get them imported. also keep in mind coilovers branded to fit 90-94 models will also fit 95-00 models so don't let that fool you.
