Question How to lower ride the height of RX350

Hi everyone,
Just bought a 2008 RX350 and I am looking for any info on how, and how much it can be lowered.
I don't want to go the extreme that qualifies as a "low rider" or the term "slammed".
Hoping for 2 to 3 inches of lowering.
Anyone know if this can done without screwing-up the entire suspension and ride comfort?

Got new struts, instead of putting the stock RX ones back (one had a snapped off coil due to rust) I used Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs. In my case, I used 1999-2003 Lexus RX300 ones instead of 2004-2009 Lexus RX ones because I found these locally for 60 bucks. Since they are shorter than the factory springs, they don't need to be compressed as far to reassemble the strut.
