Put me on the springs list.
I got F-sport springs and am too stubborn to get coils. I'll rock these until they rust damnit!


And I still wonder if I should have gotten a used IS-F instead of my new 350.

They were too harsh for my taste. I much prefer my BC coils which are stiff, yet absorb the road better.

Getting my 2IS in Obsidian. After I had my black SC400 I swore I would never get another black-colored car, but the dealership had only 1 CPO'd 350. Ideally my 2IS would have been Matador or SFP - or maybe even Absolutely Red.

My only regret was buying a top fuel intake, only to end up with the JOEz pipe.

ohhhh and ofcourse my most recent 2 days ago ( I still want to cry) bought Work GNOSIS GS3 with tires and tpms, installed them and BAM INSTANT flushness!! the offsets and tires were perfect LITERALLY. but it wasnt enough for me, bought 15mm spacers, rolled/pulled my fenders and STILL rubbing, took the spacers off and now have a UGLY wheel gap. FML

So far for me I think it's my spoiler, the install didn't fit it well and scratched my boot, then they their to polish it out for me but instead cut back the clear coat
