Default Suspension considerations

Motive: To lower not more than 1.5" front and 1" rear while maintaining a luxurious ride taking full passengers. Cornering performance not required.

Subject: 2nd hand 2007 Lexus 3GS
Current Mods: 19" rims with 235/35/19 tyres

I have a used Tanabe DF210 given to me by a friend. Have not installed yet bcos I suspect it may be too low for my liking. Based on what is described on the Tanabe website, I may like the NF210 better for max comfort.

Considerations: Go try to Tanabe or just go straight for BC or Tein coilovers.

Can someone explain the front spring numbers listed on BC website "62-220-10"(http://www.bcec.com.tw/products_app/APP-BR-RS.htm#L1)? Compared to Tein's 7/392(http://www.tein.com/price/lexus.html)... which is softer for a more comfortable ride?
