Looks amazing. Is your F-Sport the AWD version? I see the wheels are VFS's can you share tire size, wheel size and offsets? Tanabe springs spec'd for the GS RWD?

Beautiful!

Thanks! Yes it is the AWD version. Tire sizes 245/35/20 275/30/20, Wheel sizes 20x9 38 offset 20x10.5 45 offset. They are the Tanabe NF210 springs for the GS. This is the same setup as the JM Lexus RCs posted on this site previously. It works great on the AWD also, I have driven 100+ miles with no problems whatsoever. I loved the looks of this setup in pictures but they don't do it justice - it looks absolutely stunning in person. This is a completely different looking car than I was driving yesterday! The ride seems to be very close to stock with standard and Sport + suspension settings.

How much of a drop was it? How much were the springs?

the spring specs show 1.1 inches in front and 1.2 inches in back but since the front was so high on the AWD I think it was more like 2 inches in front. They were just under $300. The shop charged me $250 for the install.

Wow. The setup looks great. Are you able to share what you did/doing with the stock tires/rims? They probably only had a handful of miles on them.
