F-sport springs are pretty much like stock until you start pushing them. That's when the slight difference between the two (F-sport and stock) is more noticeable.

I have Eibachs on my 250 and the ride difference isn't even noticable. I'm very happy with them, as I wanted to retain as much of the factory ride quality as possible.

Here's a pic for height purposes.......

Seriously i think springs arent the way to go. Get coilovers!!! Coilovers are the same when you know how to adjust them to your comfort. I have tanabe's and my shtt is tuck rite now and I still feel the stock ride.

I just threw the pro-kit(Fr 1.4 and RR 1.0) on for now, even though I want the CS's. I've always had coilover setups which I prefer. I have another car I'm building so I had to hold off on the daily.

I usually ride a little lower.......

coilovers are for those who have a bigger budget and greater needs (or are more demanding when it comes to the range of adjustability). if the 2is owner is the "set it and forget it" type, or if he/she is on a tight budget, then coilovers might not be it.
