S-techs are lower by the specs... and i've seen H&Rs too.. but i still thin that the S-Techs would drop more..... I would say get S-Techs.... or go RoadMagnet... it would be good as well... 2" drop IMHO... that would be great!

thanks for all the responses... after many MANY pictures... I've decided to go w/ H&R's. Javy's car looked SMOKING w/ the H&R's..
and even though on paper (F1.4 - R1.3), they look the most balanced out of any drop I've seen.

ANY AWD IS needs to be on coilovers PERIOD for a solid drop. RWD depending on wheel/tire size and your custom look/feel will depend on spring vs. coils. most talked about springs are eibach, h&r and s-techs. not the brightest on coils yet as i am not lookin forward to them, i'd rather do some springs n sum nice 18/19's, no 8.5F 10.5R 2 inch lips n stufff so not gonna need coils. does anybody know which springs ride best though, more on the stock side (comfy lexus feel, yet aggressive handling?) and coils too, which would be best for comfort and sport, EVERYDAY DRIVER.

I drive mine everyday about 70miles round trip. The S-techs are a very nice ride. GF doesnt even realize the car has been lowered.

For you guys with the s-tech's, are you running them with the stock shocks/struts? And do the s-techs give the car a even drop? Im trying to avoid the sag look in the rear. I want more of a drop in the front than the rear. A rake.

H&R's will do you right. I recently installed them on my '07 IS250 RWD. I'm happy with them so far. The ride is still nice and the drop is even and has that slight raked look to it.

thats fine w/ me... though I don't think the AWD's sit THAT much higher... what are we talking .3-.5 inches? Its nothing like a full inch or anything.
