I would say Springs would give a smoother ride - but i know others may differ. I think if your looking for a minimal drop with more factory ride - go with F-Sport springs

I see. Did you take it for a test drive after spring install before alignment? Or was it straight spring and alignment back to back.

I guess I'm just worried now after reading projectdna's post. I'm not sure what bushings are and whether the guy is going to install it right

Where the springs were installed and the alignment was done at two different locations - so we probably drove about 25 miles to spot where the alignment was done - We made sure it drove nice before doing the alignment. I dont think anybody resets bushings when they install. I have no issues =)

Another person said the same but they just say Sport Springs - so i'm not sure - i know they were shipped from California. I can double check the box when i get home but dont think there's any difference.

It depends on the offset of your wheels ...

But, you should be fine. When I had H&R springs I had no problem and I was 8.5+30 in the front running 235/35/19, and 9.5+33 running 265/30/19. When I went lower on coils I did need to roll fenders / relocate bumper tab

Ok, you'll be more than ok. Those are pretty conservative.
