Undecided..................
i have read numerous threads about springs and I am still undecded about which set of spring sto purchase.
I am looking for the most agressive drop more than 1 inch but I would like to retain the smooth ride of my IS 350. Any recommendations? Thanks

I would recommend the Road Magnet springs which have an approximate 1.5" drop and are also guaranteed FOR LIFE. They will also provide a drop without "settling" which happens with a lot of springs that after a few years become unusable because they continue to "settle" and affect ride quality.

aftermarket springs have to be paired with a good set of aftermarket shocks for good ride quality, be prepared for a ugly ride keeping OEM shocks/struts and going with aftermarket springs rates

If the aftermarket spring rates and drop are close to stock, then you shouldn't have problems with sticking with the OEM shocks.

I would still say shocks/struts play a bigger role than springs in ride quality than most people suspect
