Default 2014-2016 lexus is350 lowering springs

Hey guys I'm new to the forum I'm thinking about picking up a 2014-2016 lexus is350 f sport, I couldn't find much on lowering springs, I was wondering which are recommended and how low of a drop they give. Thanks in advance

Hey thanks for getting back to me that was a really informative, would you happen to know how much the "downs" springs drop? The super downs seem a little much for daily driving for me thanks in advance !

Swift or RSR Downs for RWD, RSR Downs for AWD. Can't go wrong with these.

In the long run it's better to to go coils/air so you don't wear out your stock struts and you can adjust height as you wish. I'd only go for springs for a temporary solution.
