Default Noobie here

Iam bored in class so I signed up. Well I just bought a 2008 is250 about 3 days ago. Overall I like it. I would like to kno what springs or coilovers are good to drop the car but not mess with my smooth ride. And rim wise iam looking at the f-sport because I don't kno what other rims go with navy blue. And iam looking for an off set of a 2in deep lip in front with a 4in deep lip in back.

hmmm let me start by.... why does the rims have to go along with navy blue... yo can't see the springs when you've installed it.... anyway springs has a fixed drop and you can't adjust it at all... while coils allow you to adjust your drop within a certain range and also it allows you to adjust the damping of the coils when moving
