Default 09 lexus rims lowered

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone have pictures of 2is lowered on the 09 18" rims the lobster claw. I tried searching forums can't seem to find any. I have a 09 blue onyx pearl and planning to drop on coils or road magnet springs so just trying to see how it would look.

My car is actually lowered on road magnets with the lobster claws lol. Doesn't look too bad for some springs but the drops not enough for me, getting some coils in a couple weeks!

Mine is dropped on Megan EZ coils, about 1.75" drop.

Looks pretty good from these angles.....









... but this is why I had to upgrade wheels. Couldn't deal with how sunken in the stockies looked

bare in mind usually when you get springs about a year later you go coils. Then two years later you switch to bags only to go back to coils a year after that

^ what is the logic behind going back to coils from air? I am asking this because this is exactly the path I am going lol. Realistically, probably just upgrading to better coils from my current one.
