I recently took advantage of the F-Sport coupon and have ordered the intake, springs, and will order the exhaust shortly. I had a particular question that didn't seem to fit well with that thread, so here I go on my own:

On the instructions for the springs, it recommends that they be installed prior to installing the exhaust. I had planned on waiting a little while before installing my springs and having a shop do it as I don't have the tools or experience, and I will need to have the tires re-aligned. I do however have the tools and experience to install the exhaust myself.

My question is this--is it really a big deal if the exhaust gets installed before the springs? I would assume that suggestion is just to avoid any potential clearance and spacing issues. Anyone have a guess?

Thanks!

I dont see why it would matter which you do first.

That's what I figured, it's just not what the directions said. Thanks for the input!

You should highly consider getting the F-sport sway bars (front and rear) before you get the springs, intake, or exhaust. The F-sport sway bars are almost universally considered to be the most important modification one can do to one's IS350.

No problem, I went ahead and replied to your PMs anyway.
