Springs same as 2013?
I got an email from BCR saying that the 3is uses the same coilovers as the 2013. Can someone confirm this before I buy some 2is coilovers?

Hmmm.... might be the case for non f-sport but I'd be wary if your car came with adaptive suspension because it seems to be different?

The answer is NO it does not..... It uses the technology released in the 4 GS..
Which is how some new IS's are already getting LOWERED...

Any springs out there that would fit the 3IS? Looking for a 0.5" to < 1" drop max. (250 F-Sport)

I don't know why I keep thinking that the coils from an 2is will fit on the new 2014 3is. I wish I had a set of coils I can test fit to see what's different .

They will not fit, the suspension setup for the rear is completely different.
