In my experiance coils with oem shocks/struts rides best although the drop is not as agrresive, on my GS350 I had the megan coilovers and went back to coils, looked great and ride was very smooth. Same goes for my other 2 es350s one on air suspesnion and megan coilovers

I just talked to RSR USA about the possibility of coils for the ES and they said there’s something coming “very shortly”. Super excited.

Why do you lower? Is it for appearance?

My 2019 ES 350 F Sport as is (stock) already occasionally bottoms out on the front or back over speed bumps or if I go from a steep angle to the road a little too fast. Not sure I would want to lower. Just personal thoughts...I’m sure others do it for their own reasons.

Imo I think it looks amazing low, I’m thinking about doing the same, but I would personally get 19-20 inch instead of 22.

for my needs 22s is better than 20s or 19’s. I have very steep drive way entry with 19s or 20s my front bumper would not survive, Also my stocks are 19 what is the point of buying wheels in the same size or 1” bigger, how ever to each their own

Yeah I definitely see the downsides of lowering your car, but for me personally, I have always been a fan of jdm and vip for lexus', so I enjoy the lowered look.
