I drive a 09 is350 on 20inch Vossen wheels with Pirelli low pros. It definitely needed to be lowered so I went to Lexus and got the F-Sport lowering springs. I'm looking to drop another 1/2 inch. So total 1 and 1/2 inch drop.
Any suggestions on coilovers vs. lowering springs and/or brands?
Would I need a camber kit?

springs vs coilovers will depend on how low u wanna go. if u just want a 1-2 inch drop then just stick with springs. if u wanna slam it, then u gotta get coilovers. no point spending all that money on coilovers if u just want to eliminate some gap. fsport only drops (1.0f and 0.8r i think) everyone says get H&R but i think they ride kina harsh. i would rather go with Eibach prokit for the 250 (1.4f and 1.0 Rear) or get the Tein Springs (1.6f and 1.2 Rear). yes, those .2 makes a difference.

you wont need a camber kit if u dropping on springs. it wont be bad

P.S. i had the Eibach prokit for the is250 with the fsport shocks and love the ride quality, but i am A LOT lower now with coilovers.

IT dont matter bro... IT gonna rub if u slam or lower ur car more then 2 inches.. U have to do fender modify as roll, cut or shave... IF u dont wanna have to hear rubbing noise, then dont lower it.. Leave it 4x4... I lower my ride more then 3.5 inches and it rub all the time.. I took my car to body shop 4 time to repaint fenders.. Remember rubbing is always an issue for lower the car.. U have to do the right thing

1) roll, shave or cut inner fender

2) get right tire size

3) u gotta play to pay the fender work

4) learn how to drive lower car

EZwider: I would highly recommend BC Racing BR coilovers. I have them on my IS350 for over 2 years, love them for daily driving and also spirited driving once in a while. I take corners very hard at times and like to zip through traffic. Definitely touch base with Tristan at CircuitMS and he will hook you up! =) He's a vendor on ClubLexus, one of the best customer service out there!

if your looking to go just another 1/2 go to the gs section and search for rca or rsa blocks and they have 20mm and 30mm for cheap to compliment your drop already

Might need coils....

Well, I scrape the floor on the freeway at high speeds when I hit a dip only cause I have the F Sport chassis brace. I only rub a bit up front cause my fender liner is torn through. The rear is o.k. cause I have the camber but the tire is kinda touching the sidewall up against where the bumper meets the quarter panel. what size are your tires? I refuse to do the flush/poke look cause I already had one fender fixed. I'm not into that. I'm more old school and like to tuck.
