Default Good Springs to lose wheel gap!

I am currently looking to lose my 2011 IS350 wheel gap using springs, my main goal is to go low enough to lose the wheel gap only, lower than that is too much for functionality imo as I scrape with just a lip on :/ please show me a picture of your IS if you're currently on springs! I'm thinking about F-Sport springs atm

RS-R makes a great spring. Extremely comfortable and will get you to where you want to be.

Yup. The RF sits just a hair higher than the LF, but that seems to be common with all the 2IS. Good springs if you're looking for a mild drop

German quality H&R springs, with Tokico Blue struts......firm and handles excellent in cornering and turns, also running F-Sport rear anti-sway bar.
Mild even drop about 1 1/2"..............Vossen 19" rims no rubbing...

I just had RS*R Down springs installed--dropped about 1 in--perfect for daily driving--lower but not too low
RSR Downs

My car is RWD, I didn't care much at first, but when I remembered that AWD would be slower cause of weight I went for the RWD lol.

Looks really nice, yeah after seeing thst first pic I was kind of convince with them, car isn't "slammed" but it also doesn't have a huge gap, its perfect. Clean IS
