Default Advice for lowering

Hey guys I was supposed to get some Megan coilovers but decided against it and that maybe I should ask what you all what you all think is the best kind of coilovers or suspension setup I want to lower the car and make it look more aggressive and I'm looking at lips and what not and know this is the suspension and brakes section but if anyone has any ideas or advice on good looking lips and bumpers for the is300 I'd appreciate it.

It depends on what your overall goal is with the car the best coilover imo is a set of kw's, good ride, good drop, and excellent handling but they are man expensive lol. If your looking to just drop it for looks and not going to the track every week a set of megans will be fine and I've heard the ez streets are nice for the money anyway hope this helps!

Yeah if you're going for looks and agressiveness Megan's/CX are pretty good for a DD. hell I'd even track my CX's, but I know there's way better choices out there as far as handling.

I had TEIN Flex Coilovers when I had mine and loved them. I added the EDFC to play with them a bit. Frankly, wasnt necessary at the time. Now, yeah I need that EDFC but you dont really need it if youre just doing height adjustments. I think theyre called super streets that was only ride hight. Those are great.

Found these btw:

Should probably pick it up before it gets taken down, or atleast get the guys info. GL!

I've been looking at the teins and the cx's and there's not too much price difference and would like to know people's opinion on which one they think is a better buy in terms of looks after they are on and ability to adjust height. Also looking at getting some volk te37s to go with the coilovers but just want I see what people like better.
