BC Racing, Megan, KW, Tanabe...and many more. Look in the suspension thread for more info if you search. I had Megan LP's and was the lowest on 20's. I had Megan rear camber arms. There's SPC front ball joints as well. I had also bought the Figs Mega arms and toe links for the rear. Go with Figs for the rear toe links (high quality and CL member).

Megan for front and rear camber arms
might as well get the rear toe arm too

bcr if you want to slam, kw v2 if you want high quality stuff but you don't really track (can't slam), kw v3 if you track (which i doubt with your 20"...)

Can one have coilovers that can adjust to be comfortable on the street and firm on a track day? Kind of like an on/off switch, or is that just two different suspension worlds that are only mutually exclusive?

Megan LP coils for sure! I've heard nothing but great comments about them & how they don't take away the feel of a Lexus. Was considering Teins but heard they were horrible & BC's are same as stock. I just received my Megan coils in the mail the other day. Just waiting on my other car parts & those babies are getting installed

I have BC coilovers with the Swift spring upgrade (12K/10K) as well as the Megan front UCA's and rear camber arms and have been very impressed with that setup. I am running about a finger gap width as I track the car quite a bit and don't want to go any lower and really like the ride. Bit stiffer than the stock IS350 sport suspension but not bad at all on the street. Huge difference on the track or when you push it. The front UCA's have a huge amount of adjustment so get you any camber setting you want within reason. I am currently running -2.7 deg up front and have more room for negative camber if that is your thing. I can also go all teh way down to 0 camber if I decide to stay away from the track and want to save my tires. All in all a very good setup
