Hello, thinking of getting a new Mod. Which one would you prefer?
F-Sport springs, I just want a moderate drop to romove some finger gap.

Or

F-Sport intake? Just getting this for the sound. :P

Please leave your thoughts.

I would choose suspension first.
But i suggest you skip springs and save for some adjustable coilovers. Most people here will tell you the same thing. Many members here switch to coilovers not long after going springs.

Having done both, the suspension mod is def. more bang for the buck.. never regretted it once!

Tein S Tech springs are excellent as well, btw, offering a stock-like ride, improved looks to our cars, and improved handling over stock

The thing is I'm on a budget and all I can afford right now is Springs. And if I do want coilovers it would probably be the Megan EZ's.

Really, how much do they drop it? I heard sometimes people feel vibration or noises? Is this true?

If you haven't seen this thread, it's an excellent one for comparing the different spring options available for the IS's...
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...t-springs.html

I haven't noticed any vibration issues or other annoyances AT ALL with my Teins. Only thing is the rear of my car seems to ride a tad lower (<1/2") than the front (perhps b/c my car is Awd?)

Hope this helps ya!
