^^^ I am assuming coilovers since you have pretty even gap both front and back however I know Tein makes springs and coilovers for the F so was just wondering which.

Dropped on TEIN springs



The New Drag Setup

Rubs with this setup when i go over decent sized bumps. But the wheels are rarely going to be on the car.

Eibach (seem to drop lower in the rear and not enough in the front)


BC Racing Coilovers (tend to bottom out even on stiffest setting)

Teins seem to drop nice for them to only be springs.

I did not know that H&R made an IS-F specific spring. Is this specific for the F or is it for the ISx50? If for the F can anybody comment on ride quality and/or sound/squeaking (or lack thereof)?

2008 IS-F sitting on KWV3's with a raked "stance" meaning the wheel gap is flush even on both sides, but the car sits with a slight rake as a result. Wheels are 19" Advan RSD wrapped on NITTO INVO tires
