congrats...now to lower it....f-sport springs won't bring you much lower...maybe .75 inch...i would say get a different set of springs or just go coilovers if you really want to see a drop..IMO

Looks good, I like it. I agree with dumping the fsport springs, it's not going to make much of a difference. Go coilovers or another name brand spring, tanabe, road magnet, etc.

i am definitely open to options. i don't want a "slammed" look. just a clean, classy, flush look. great handling is important too.
