Default Lowering a LS600h L

I know, I know, sorry, new member, age old question, and yes, I've searched and found endless posts on this subject, but the links given in the past don't seem to work any longer.
I've had many Lexus before, but this is the beast, the 5.0 V8 with hybrid and it's the long one too, it's a real beauty, but the wheel gap offends my aesthetic, I'm not after it being slammed or taking away any of the air suspension ride quality, but the wheel gap is too much.

I've seen links to a datasystem lowering module but not sure what's best and who the hell might be able to help me fit it in the UK, so any help, support of knowledge would be welcome. This is currently how it sits

@Boykie can probably give you some advice, being in the same country and all.

There's a build thread at the top of the LS forum. Check that for info.

I installed a DS about a year ago & have no regrets. I self installed it with guidance from this forum & it took about 30-45 minutes. I can easily do it in 15 min now. It’s 100% plug & play.

If you’re planning on keeping OEM wheels, I would highly suggest installing wheels spacers too…it’ll make it look much cleaner IMO.

15 minutes to me could be hours of blood sweat and tears, and the interface for programming looks alien to me.
Wheels; it's one thing I really don't like about Lexus, besides the iconic GS300 Sport multi spokes. I'm going for some very clean, gunmetal 7 spokes, but only 20 x 9.
