H&R Sport Springs. Cant go wrong. I installed them myself with not doing any work like that before. It was kinda hard to install, but completely do'able. The drop is not huge, but it is certainly significantly noticable

I just installed the "Tein SKL90-AUB00 S.Tech Lowering Springs" on my 06 IS350 on stock 18's a little over 2 weeks ago. Settled ride height is about 1.5F and 1.3R. The front has about one finger of wheel gap and the rear has no wheel gap. The ride quality is still amazing, just a tad stiffer and a lot less body roll in corners.

The install took me and a buddy about 1.5 hours at our hobby shop.

they are on sale on Amazon currently for 218.11+ free shipping.

Here is a link to the Club Lexus Vendor Marketplace where I found a direct dealer if thats the route you would want to take.

1.5F, 1.0R....you're looking at either Tein S Techs or Eibach Pro Kits

H&R is about 1.5/1.3

Hey Freal how is the ride in terms of rebound when you go over bumps does it bounce a lot or is the ride comfortable?

It's great. I have to go over a dip($h!tty bridge to road transition) everyday on the way to work and on the way home. I hit it going 55-65 with no issues.

no camber kit needed, your stock wheels dont "poke" out enough and the drop isnt too crazy so you will be fine. it just a clean noticable wheel gap closure.

yes, original shocks. its up to you if you want to replace those or not. honestly if you buy lowering springs and shocks you may as well buy coilovers instead for equal or lesser value.(depending on the brand). springs was my option for a cheap quick lower look until i get the approval from the wife to go moar low.
