Does the F sport intake sounds significantly better? My only reason for getting one. If no sound difference I'll save myself $500.

Not to change the subject, since everyone's talking about the springs, but what comes with the quick shifter kit? Is it just the blue piece? Does it come with a new **** as well (in some of the pictures, it looks like there's a new leather **** with a chrome piece)?

Also, in technical terms, how does it work? For $300, a blue-painted aluminum block seems pretty pricy. I would've thought it also replaces the shaft holding the **** itself too since that seems to have pretty long travel.

Sorry, but could you post a full side view with color with low contrast. We want to see the fender gap. I am on the fence with these and pictures would help a lot. Thanks.

I don't have another side picture. That was all the photos I took of ISM-SKZM's IS. In person it looked awesome. I wish they made springs for the IS-F now because I feel my front fender gap to tire is too large. The rears on the IS-F came out perfect from the factory.

How much did they quote you for labor if you don't mind me asking?

I have IS 350 w/sport pkg and I am seriously thinking about going for the F-Sport suspension kit (spring and shocks).

But my concern is that exactly how much of a drop will i get from what i have now and will the ride get stiffer or same?

I have read anywhere who has installed the F-Sports suspension kit yet on IS 350 w/sport pkg.

inxexisten

Correct me if I am wrong but I recall someone posting that its about 1/2 inch drop and its like 15% stiffer

mrsardar

I thought the person who installed suspension kit has a Lux pkg, not the sport pkg.

so that i believe is a big difference between lux pkg and sport pkg stock suspension.

I believe that the sport suspension is just different springs. Therefore, changing out said springs with aftermarket should give you the same drop as any other 2IS.

mrsardar

well i talk to one of the lexus tech at the dealership and he said that sport pkg include both spring and shock.

So what is why i was asking what pkg did CL member install on.

even between lux pkg and sport pkg you do notice some difference in two suspension setup.

I just left my car off at the dealer to install the springs, shocks, and sway bars (F&R). He quoted me about 6 hrs for the springs and shocks (3 hrs for the front and 3 hrs for the rear) plus 2 hrs for the 2 sway bars. In addition he quoted me $125 for an alignment.
