Default F-Sport or H&R springs?!

Ive decided I want to lower my car for one of my next few mods, but I cant decide whether I should get the f-sport or the h&r springs. Any advice?

They're both great quality. It depends how low you want to go. H&R are lower than F Sport. My choice would be H&R.

Can't go wrong with either, just how low and how comfortable do you want your ride.

If you have a RWD IS I'd also consider a F-Sport rear sway bar (that's if you're looking for handling improvements).

I just would be concerned about inner wear when it comes to dropping more than 1" all though it looks better

How many miles are on your car? If you're around 60,000kms and on stock shocks, they may not last much got maybe 5k out of my shocks after lowering before they started to go. It ended up being more cost effective to just put in coilovers and sell the springs. Pain in the *** to install twice.

I asked the same question. H&R is a better option.
