I bought RSR superdowns, still haven't bought replacement shocks but I figured with that much for the springs and shocks I might as well pay a bit more extra and just go coilovers? (springs are unused so I could easily sell them) Obviously the coils are better but is the spring + shocks still good? 2014 Lexus IS250 F Sport

And for those recommending shocks, could you provide links to some if possible? Having some trouble finding some... (new to the forums)

Welcome to the forums.

It really depends on how much you want to spend on coilovers. There's a few options, check out RR-Racing and Figs websites for options in those. If you decide to stick with just the springs and new shocks, really it just comes down to limited shock life. Factory shocks are put together for the longest life and best ride for the factory spring. With smaller springs, means less travel for the shock which will create less life from the shock. Obviously you went with the spring that you like which is great, I personally went with just the Downs instead of Superdowns and the ride is perfect with the factory strut and shock in my opinion. Again though it's recognized that the shocks just won't last as long as they could, maybe by 10-15k miles if I had to guess.

Others that use superdowns can chime in for ride and shock life, but it will be even less with the superdowns.

Depends on your budget, getting coilovers is probably the better option because you significantly more adjustability but the good thing about RSR is that they've been around for a while, their springs are known to work well with our shocks. I installed my RSR Down Springs on my car at 30k miles, I'm at almost 100k and I haven't replaced the shocks yet, car still rides close to OEM / stock.

The con to a coilover I see is you're deviating away from the OEM ride quality which was important to me and if you're not experienced with coilovers, dialing in all 4 corners can be difficult if you don't know what you're doing.

I second this. It is a BTCH to adjust the coilovers in the rear since our cars have separate struts/springs. With that said, I do believe that with a good pair of coilovers, you could achieve near stock comfortability. You also have to take the AVS system into account when deciding whether to do coilovers as systems that retain AVS are more expensive. I have the RSR iBest Active coilovers and once I got them dialed in the car rides perfectly in my opinion.

Bought the car when it had 95,000km it's at 115,000. I don't beat on the car on corners as its the daily/'winter beater'. Do you think I'll be fine?

Dam though are expensive but they seem worth it

what coils do you recommend if you don't mind the part # too lol

The most popular option we have is our RR Racing Road and Track set. These are a true coilover design that has a 5 years limited warranty and a 2 year warranty on shocks and other parts. I believe this is the highest in the industry that i've seen. They have 24 clicks of adjustment and we do custom spring rates on every order. This means you won't get a coilover with a default spring that doesn't correspond with your driving style.

Also, if you purchase coilovers with RR Racing, you get the opportunity to buy the upgraded lower control arm bushings at a discount from retail. These are important to improving steering response and preventing inner tire wear.

If you want to use RSR Super Down Lowering Springs, then you can use TEIN EnduraPro Shocks.

For Coil-Overs, RS*R are very popular for Lexus ..
