Update. I just got it installed. The spring is not low as expected to be about a inch. I know it has to settle but its the same height as stock as of now. I dont think the spring will drop 1 inch even after it settles. The mechanic sbop told me the rear was pain in the *** to install, it was way complicated compared to other toyotas. He still gave me a hook up chargin 3hrs of labor including installation of the rear camber arms. I will post pictures when i get home. Most of you will be dissappointed with drop. On a positive note, it feels just like stock.

that said, thank you for the above update, although it sounds disappointing at this point. I'm on the fence about these springs, but if after the settling time the car still looks stock, I'm sorry to say that they weren't a good investment; on the other hand, the ride is stock, that's a HUGE PLUS! it'd would've been nice to see a size comparison of the stock springs and f sport springs during the swap.
if anyone has these springs and haven't installed yet, if can, please try and get a shot of the two sets side by each.

Anyway, bought the F Sports, come with new bump stops and lock nuts for the strut mounts, look like quality pieces. Will be installing Saturday, will take before/after pics, measurements, and pics of the coils for you.

I was on the fence for my wife's 3IS lowering spring.... Swift (have them on my F), RSR Half Downs (couldn't get anyone who advertises on CL to give me a solid clue in regards to availability, everyone pushed the Downs), or the F Sports. I saw a car last week that had the F Sports installed, it definitely was noticeable, that is why I asked the OP if he had taken before/after measurements.

Looks like a RSR Half Down or Tein H tech Drop .8'', hows the ride though?
was disappointed with the 2IS f-sport springs it got the drop I liked but it was stiff as hell and the ride isn't great
