Default Springs for my 02 ES

I'm looking for a set of lowering springs for my 2002 ES300.
I had my sights set on the Eibach but recently found out about the Tanbe springs.
I've noticed that the ES back looks lower than the front so I'm taking that into consideration with the aftermarket specs and their results.

The Eibach springs will give a 1.1" front and back drop whereas the Tanabe will give a 2" in the front and 1.3" in the back.
I figure i get the car lowered before I pick up a set of rims. I'm looking at 18" with 40s. I would like 19" with 35s but the roads on this island are terrible (pothole heaven).

Any recommendations on the springs or anyone in Honolulu with the hook ups?

Thanks in advance!

Any aftermarket springs for the MCV30 chassis, the rear is gonna sag more than the front. I'm not sure about the Tanabe since they are a more newer spring to the game. I suggest changing out your struts if you're gonna go with aftermarket springs. Your oem struts will go out prematurely with aftermarket springs. Carson Toyota despite being on the mainland is the main "hookup" for ClubLexus. Check out their new site, www.l-tunedparts.com
