I want to lower my car, however, coilovers just feel like it's too much instead of some simple lowering springs for less than half the price of coilovers.

The reason I ask is because I lowered our NX using RS-R Downs and we cannot get the angle of the front strut exactly right no matter how hard we try. It is fine for most people and they wouldn't even notice what I notice. But I am super picky when it comes to noises, so it don't "bother" me but I pay attention to it more than I should.

A little back story, I own a 2019 NX F Sport and had it lowered when it had less than 1000 miles on it. Well actually my wife had it done for me, but thats beside the point. I had it aligned a week later.

There is slight and I do mean slight pop that I get from the turning the wheel left or right and at very slow speeds or stopped and the radio turned down. that is literally the only time you can hear it. I have had Lexus look at it and my mechanic who lowered it, and it is in fact the strut mount. It didn't make the noise until it was aligned.

Brands like BC racing are rock solid dependable and not as expensive as others. I run them on both of my cars. If you decide to just do springs there is literally nothing else you need to do.
