People I'm looking forward to instal adjustable coil-overs in my car but I don't want stiff suspension. I want to keep the smoothness of my Lexus. I'm not going to cut my springs. Any coil-overs suiting my requirement?

NOOB! Call me!
What's your budget? If you are looking for used coil-overs, you aren't gonna get what you want. You'll have to live with what you find.
If you want new then set aside 5k for coils or around 1.5k if you want lowering springs.
As for new, you won't find LS400 springs/coils locally, you have to get them shipped.

O.T: are you both friends from before ?? Everytime shaaq asks anything , TNT is to reply CALL ME !! :D so just asked .

TNT is right its very expensive for coilovers around 5k !! And springs 1.5k depending on what brand you choose eibach,tein etc. But i think lowering springs are universal so you might be able to source them out over here locally, im not sure though.

"O.T." Yeah man we friends since high school.

But guys the reason why I didn't want springs was because I'm doubtful that the tasjeel will pass my car lowered. And now I need to know where I can buy soft springs for good price. BTW I just want 1.5" front and 1" drop back.

There should be at least a 2 finger gap between the fender and the wheels for it to pass Tasjeel, apparently.
