Welcome to CL. That's a clean ans shining looking car you got there. I personally don't have the Megan EZ coils due to being in school extra full time but there are some really great reviews on them, and a lot of members have them. I say go ahead and get them.

Welcome to CL. I have the Megan LP's and love them. I've heard if you get crazy offsets then EZ's aren't that good because they're a bit soft.

Car looks great bro. Welcome to CL. You are now a member of likely the greatest wealth of Lexus knowledge available online. Be sure you use the search function before posting any threads, as many questions have been posted and answered here over the years. What are your plans for mods, besides the coils? Exhaust, front lip, wheels? Love the black, btw. My second favorite to MRM.

Welcome to CL! Quite a few members have EZ's... . But I'd also check out all the other options out there before you buy. To add to what SFFD103 said - if you want more aggressive wheels in the future - you can get Megan LPs or BCRs for not much more.

Welcome to CL

I think you mean fsport springs and shocks? The shocks themselves won't lower your car. I would go with the Megan EZs because you can drop it however low you want as opposed to fsport springs which only drop the car about 1 inch and isn't noticeable

Welcome to CL!

I'd go with the Megan EZ over springs because of the ability to adjust your height.

Have fun with the mods,

Yeah ive been doing some research and it seems like the spring's drop is negligible. So ive decided to get some coilovers. I understand there are a lot of em out there but what would you guys suggest for the crappy roads out here in nyc or would that even be a factor? i want to drop it about an inch and a little more
