Not happy with F sport drop
So last night my buddy and I installed brand new f sport springs on my 06 is350 with the sport package. I can't hardly tell the different other than the front look slight lower than sport spring that came on factory. I've seen other is with f sport spring and it looks lower than my car. Will the spring settle more over time giving me more of a drop?

What I don't get is the car I seen on here with f sport springs looks lower than my car. Also I have the improved design f sport springs the one with part number ending 90 not 80. I would post some pics but it's snowing out

you just installed it. It's not going to look that much drastic if you want an aggressive look. You'll need to at least have the springs settle, you'll see it looking like the other drops. I have f sport springs and on 19s and they sit just right. You want a daily driver, stick with the f sports and pair it with a sway bar. H&R gives it a little more drop, coil overs are your next bet, but then driving might be a bit rough if this is a daily driver.

I don't have the F Sport sways, i'm looking into getting the rear f sport sway bar only soon. Doing the research, the rear would be the only beneficial for me right now. As far as 19's, I have an offset of +35 and +40 and the wheel gap isn't that bad, it's a gap but practical. As far as making a flush look, you'd probably look at H&R springs, i've seen them on 19 g spiders and they look flush, with the right tire fitting of course.

I went with H&R however it will throw your camber out of spec..will need ball joint camber kit for the front..unless you like buying tires every 20K miles. Your rear will be off too..but very close..I chose not to do the rear camber kit and don't get excessive tire wear on the rears
