Default Need help with coil overs!!

hey guys! So i am at the point where my next mod is going to be lowering my IS250 RWD. I want to lower my car enough to get rid of my wheel gap entirely but not slam it so much that I'm cracking my front lip on every bump in the road. I think I've decided on coil overs rather than bags or springs. I want to know what the best coil overs are for my car, but not the most expensive! (not on a budget, but not looking to blow money). Anyone know general install fee for coil overs? or if its possible to so myself? Thanks guys!

Same answer as above

About$200- $250 to install at a shop.

You can install if you or a friend have knowledge.

Thanks for the few different replies! $200 sounds kinda low, from what I've heard any suspension installation in south florida costs minimum of $500. and my budget for new coil overs is around $700-900 price range. And does anyone know how hard or easy it is to install yourself a full set of coil overs?

If it's your very first time doing this I would say 1 whole day so you can just take your time and do it right. But it's pretty straight forward and easy to do. Theres a diy on installing suspension in one of the pages. Look it over and see if you're up to doing it
