Suspension Springs, shocks, coilovers, sways, braces, etc.

Installed F Sport springs... Kinda disappointed.

I knew the drop was minimal but oh we'll, I'm still under cpo warranty. And yes those are 4GS wheels that came with the car.

looks good to me.

this is why i always tell people to not go with springs. most are usually unhappy with the drop and want to change it.

I think they are fine, but give it about 1000 miles, springs will settle and car will be even lower!

Looks good. Reminds me of the same drop I got with Tien springs. Drop will look lower once you get bigger wheels.

Taco, the car looks great! How does it drive/ride/handle? Did you replace the shocks?

Stock struts, will probably go with coilovers when they go out (I'm guessing they're last till 60k-ish). It handles a tiny bit better, barely noticeable. I'm gonna get the sway bars next month or march to see if it'll help anymore.

I have the F Sport sways and they are a great addition.
