Yes, they are F SPORT springs available for the CT. It is packaged with the F SPORT Sway Bar set and 17" Trident Five Spoke wheel in a special Liquid Graphite color.

As for the CT F Sport Concept, that was lowered on prototype coilovers. With the larger wheel and lower drop, it fills in the wheel wells nicely.

I asked , I ended up with free 3m film....... But, I knew going in them dealing on a special order and special edition was slim to none.
My last chance to deal is tomorrow on pickup. My best last argument will be the Lexus Survey. You can always bite them in the keyster on that.
I'm still happy. Just can't let it show.

"very low" is a good observation...must be coilovers of some type, that car is slammed.

So far, got the tint all around as mentioned, yellow h11 bulbs in the fogs, and have a carbon-fiber roof set to be done in the next couple of weeks. I will also be pushing the stock F-Sport wheels out a little with spacers for a more flushed look for now, but will be getting rims by the end of the month. I'll be sure to post pictures!

Oh yeah, and I also put in a JDM IS-F shift **** (perforated leather w/ chrome). I couldn't stand the stock shift ****. Kept reminding me of a damn Bluetooth headset. Hahaha

My SMD LED set should also arrive tonight, so I'll try to post pics of that as well!

dannykcha - So you have the F-sport wheels but are getting new rims? If you're looking to sell your wheels, I know you won't have a problem getting rid of them on here.

Is this the **** you put in? Hope you didn't pay that much...

That's the one, but definitely didn't pay that much. I'm still trying to decide about the rims. I like them and all, but just wish they were a tab bit bigger. I'm glad that the lowering springs close the wheel gap though. Makes it much more tolerable.

Also, I installed all the SMD LEDs on the car (trunk/cargo, license plate, door/puddle, map, dome, and reverse lights) over the weekend. I LOVE the way it looks. I've been trying to take pics, but my damn camera/phone keeps auto-adjusting to the darkness/light and it doesn't show up correctly. The yellow fogs definitely show up though. Couldn't resist the old school Lexus, yellow-fogs look/feel! Hahah.

I'm going to try to have the roof done this weekend, so I'll post pics as soon as I find time to take my car in.

The best part of it all... I've mostly been averaging around 55-60mpg since I got my car 2+ weeks ago!! But the sacrifice in the power department makes baby jesus cry... Going from a 400+hp twin-turbo to a Prius with a boob-job isn't fun, but saving a lot more money on gas eases the pain. =)
