Fsport springs are same as Eibach, look at the specs so quality is on par with H&R. I myself don't like either of them, had both of them on previous cars and decided not to go with progressive springs again so went with Swift springs on my IS350

how do you define harsh? everybody has mixed opinions

i got 2is awd on h&r and no it doesn't feel harsh but again that's just my opinion

i think fsport is a waste of money the drop is so minimal it's not gona make much of a difference in looks

h&r has nice drop, not the most for springs but not the least drop either, it actually makes a difference especially on the awd

don't worry about going "too low" u won't even come close with any springs...and snow...lol...i live in canada and im good

n if u worried about vibration issue...yes i have it...do i have it all the time? no...it comes and goes, happens at idle @ red light with foot on the brake...........thing is even before i changed springs i had it happen randomly too.....i think is just an issue with awd version of the car, not really the springs..........

i did crap load of research before i decided on mine and i can tell u h&r is the way to go if u got awd

here r my before n after:

Good assessment reyo, I think you summed it up quite well. I ordered my H&Rs on Friday and can't wait to get them on.

Five AD S5:F wheels. I wanted these so bad but couldn't find a used pair that would fit. I like balling on a budget.

^ shouldn't need a camber kit for only a 1.4" drop.. just get an alignment and they should be able to make sure your in spec
