Improved drive with springs & spacers

So I put on Half-Downs and 20mm spacers about a week and a half ago. I did it for visual appeal, but am shocked about how much it improved the drive of the car! It just feels so much more connected to the road, and overall responsive. I'm guessing it is the slight difference in the spring rates and suspension geometry, but it was a really unexpected benefit! This is how the car should drive from the factory imo.

I was thinking about doing the exact same setup, but will half downs eventually blow the shocks even though it's not a very aggressive drop? I have 43k miles on my '14 is350.

i haven’t heard of anyone reporting that, and it doesn’t seem likely given it is in line with the Lexus sport springs too.
