Coil over recommendations
Hi everyone, this is my very first post here. I am not looking to race my car on a track i am just looking to get a lower look with a smooth ride similar to OEMs ride. I have a RWD 2014 F-Sport is250 and I am looking for coil overs with a budget of $800-$1,000. I also want my tires to have full even contact to the ground, so I don't want any camber on my tires so would i also need to buy some sort of camber kit? Or is there coil overs that comes with camber adjustments? So whether i need both a coil over and a camber kit or just a coil over by itself that has camber adjustments, the bill needs to be $800-$1,000. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Update: So i have a $1,000 budget for coilover, springs, camber kits, shocks, struts whatever it takes. There’s just so many different combinations out there, what do i need to lower my car about 1.2-1.5 inches while still having a smooth ride, and making sure my tire is making full contact to the ground, i want no camber. And again I'm not looking to track my car just a look i want with it being my daily driver.

Yeh you can but not "quality" coil overs.... u only need camber kit if you want to adjust camber for either clearance for your wheel or bringing camber closer back to stock cuz you're too slammed....u should probably wait till after you've installed your coil overs to determine whether you need it

Can't get quality coils for $1000 (RSR/J5 used go for about 1200-1300, and even then you don't know how they rode those coils). Rear camber arms go for about $150-200 and AFAIK, theres no front camber arms. A 1.2-1.5in drop will have some natural camber (but should be within or close to factory specs).

Guys so what's your recommendation then for coilovers ? or best quality springs for fsport. Not certain if ACS makes springs for Lexus, but those are best I have use on my F10, very compfy ride and after settled you get about 2 fingers wheels gap.

Lots of threads on Springs - but Swift, RSR (half downs, downs, and super downs), and tanabe seem to be the ones that are most often installed. For maximum drop on springs, super downs. I myself bought Tanabe. If you use the search option within the suspension forum, you will see the discussion and pictures. CLUM even did an excellent pictorial DIY of spring replacement. Hope that answers your question about springs. Can't say anything about coilovers.
