Default Lowering IS250/ RS-R or alternative

Hello,
I have Lexus IS250 RWD 2014, non f-sport on 18 inch BORBET wheels:
  • front: 8.5'' ET40 (not sure if i remember offset correctly)
  • rear: 9'' ET40

and I got also winter set on 16 inches (7'' wide I belive).

I'm looking for lowering springs and I'm wondering between RS-R Down and RS-R Half Down. I like the down's look more however I want to keep ride of the car comfortable.

I'm from Europe and to be honest I'd rather go with springs that are available here beacuse of tax optimization (if I buy from US i had to add VAT and customs duty which makes the purchase far more expensive).
Could you make any suggestions about alternatives to above springs models? And which one would you pick, looking for any comments.

Definitely recommend the Downs. They don't make the ride quality feel all that different. I'm from the U.S. but I'm in Germany for 3 years and so far I haven't had issues.
