Default 2016 Lexus is350 Fsport coilovers

So I’ve been wanting some coilovers for my is350 I’m at about 69k miles. I was looking at the Fsport shocks and see if there’s fsport springs to go with it.

If you guys have any suggestions for coilovers, or shocks and springs lmk what you recommend.
Mainly looking for the performance and comfortability side instead of drop height of it.

I had RS*R black-i coilovers on my previous 3IS - super stiff, but great handling. I went with RS*R down springs this time around for comfort reasons alone.

heard a lot of great reviews about the RS R down springs. Gonna look into these more. And about how much did your 3IS drop from those coilovers?

the coilovers are adjustable, so you can drop them however much you'd like. i had mine set right at the top of the tires.

after awhile the ride became too stiff, but i kept them anyhow until i bought a newer 3IS and switched to the RS*R down springs which are perfect for me.
