Default Hesitant about lowering the car

Guys and Gals,

I want to lower my 2014 AWD F sport but I don't want to give up ride quality or tire wear.
Don't want to tuck the tires but take away as much wheel gap as I can with out rolling fenders.
I will keep the OEM wheels or purchase a set of F sport rims as my summer wheels.

Would like suggestions from the group as I have always turned my head when it came to lowering cars.

What is the best setup that won't take away from the ride.

Thanks in advance.

Your best options are Tein H-Tech or RS*R Down's. check build threads or other posts for info. Pics of mine with H-Tech's installed. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/bui...rmbringer.html

You'll be fine. Just do a mild drop and you won't sacrifice comfort. Happy modding
