Default F Sport Lowering Springs vs RS*R Half Down

So I see TONS of FS threads for RS*R springs (hopefully because of lease turn-ins) but nothing for F Sport springs. Wondering which to get. I just picked up an IS350 F Sport this past weekend coming from an IS250 F Sport which had RS*R Sports*i coilovers and 18x9.5 Work Emotions. Want to reduce the fender gap and get a little more aggressive height for the new car. Thoughts??

I actually have not even heard of them. I've been leaning toward F-Sport springs because of the warranty and I have a contact at at dealership for installation. Yes I'm aware of all the Magnusson-Moss ruling details, etc, etc. This isn't my first rodeo modifying cars. But since this is not going to be modded too much and with the AVS in the IS350, I don't want to risk voiding warranty on those expensive dampers. I only considered RS*R because I've had prior experience with them on my old IS250 and my current FR-S and I loved their products. I've also heard good things about the RS*R Half-Downs, but does anyone have any feedback on the F-Sport Lowering Springs?

Josh, do the Swift springs still keep the rake from factory? Thoughts on RSR vs Swift ?

is your 350 RWD? RSR half downs are only available for RWD. Got them, love the ride height, very subtle and can't feel a difference in ride quality from stock.

Best springs are Tanabe. It's what the mechanics have told me. for the GS anyway. I went for RSR because I couldn't stand the stance on Tanabe. + RSR are the best choice for a lower drop.
