I had H&R springs with KYB shocks. The ride was very nice not bouncy and not hard it was just right. However, and u'll hear it all day long on this thread... I wish i went with coilovers instead. I had no intentions on needing or wanting to adjust the height but after rolling through some local ClubLexus car meets i felt like i needed more of a drop. When ur car is lined up with 10+ other GS' it simply looks better slightly lower than what a spring can do.

Having that option to move it is worth the extra $200-300 dollars in my opinion.

Tanabe DF210's will give you the lowest drop for springs. I have no complaints about the drop but if I had to start over I would just go with a good set of coilovers to get a bit lower. As Mike said ^ the extra money is worth having the flexibility.
