at the time i liked them but only lasted about a year then i bought coils, just felt like it wasn't enough of a drop and if you plan on getting rims im sure you wont be happy with the drop. As others have said in the past i wish i just saved my money from buying springs and got coils to begin with.

thanks for the pics/ info guys! I'm probably gonna go with H&R springs since they drop more than the F sports. I most likely wont be buying wheels, I'm happy with the liquid graphite stock wheels I have. IF anything, I might pick up the wheels that come on the F sport IS's just cause I like those too haha.

I liked it at first and you do feel a bit more confident in the way it handles. But then seeing what coilovers can do, I jumped ship.

Didn't need to hear that! I've been thinking about coils for a while, but uggh.... So much money already in this car!

After putting on F Sport springs do you have to get a camber kit? What about tire wear? Not looking to do anything drastic but I do want to get rid of that wheel gap.

you dont have to get a camber kit with that minimal of a drop. tire wear should pretty much stay the same.
