Default F-Sport Springs: When are they coming out?

Has anyone heard from their dealers when the F-Sport springs will be available? I remember a few months back that they announced it will was available/coming soon. When I picked up my car mid-Feb, the dealer said it probably was about 2 months...but he didn't know.

Any ideas when?

I'm a service consultant at one of the Lexus Dealerships in Atlanta...I did place an order for F-Sport springs, but my parts department said there is no specific ETA on them. I'll check again this week. Lately, I've put my hiking/camping gear priority over springs...so I haven't pushed my parts dept as much. lol

I've called about 3 or 4 dealers in my area and they all say the same thing. They don't know anything and to keep checking back. I don't understand how Lexus can advertise these as coming out and then no one has a clue?

For what it's worth, I spoke to my service rep last week and he said it may be another 6 months. He said it typically takes 1.5 yrs after a new model is released. But then that would ve 2 years...so sounds like it may have been just a guess.

I'll get some pics up soon. It's been a busy work week at my dealership. I had my Tech team leader install them and they give a mild drop, which I can still take the car thru our machine car wash without any issues. The drop is more noticeable in the rear. The front I measured to be about a 1/4" of inch right after installation. It's only been about 3 days so far, so I'm not sure if it'll settle a little more in the front. The gap around the front tires looks even and I'm happy compared to what it was before. I take the same windy route to work (GA is hilly), and I can definitely feel a firm ride and I love it. Before every morning, I didn't like the bounciness of taking the right turn out of my condo street in the morning. Now it feels more it's "owning" it if that helps put it into perspective. My next plan is to go F-Sport Shock Absorbers from my parts dept. Not sure when that'll be, but eventually.

Add: I didn't take any before picture shots unfortunately. There's enough 3rd Gen IS that come off our truck on the sales lot that I could park next to and take pictures if I had the time... But I'll try to get some after install pictures up as soon the rainy weather clears this week.
