Thanks! Its so tempting now to get the F-sport after seeing it on your car and knowing the local cost!

Springs cost $299
Install cost $400
Total with tax $777

I know you can get it done a lot cheaper, but considering this was the first 450h this dealership has ever done, it's not likely the local spring shop would have had clue one on how to install, the 450h is a lot more complex than a regular GS, according to the service guys.

you could have done the spring install up here in vancouver for around Cdn $250 + taxes (which is what i paid). if you plan on doing more mods and don't mind the drive up to vancouver, let me know. i can at least give you options.

Agree, I can tell you the pictures do not give it justice. The car has settled a bit more, and the drop looks to be about 2'' in the front and 1.5'' in the rear. The stance is perfect the car looks like it should have looked from the factory. The ride is a bit stiffer and it handles the corners with less body roll.
