Second that. The F-Sport springs are designed to work with the F-Sport Shocks. It will work with OEM shocks, but they will wear out faster. You'll notice the ride difference after a while...

You can do a search on it... there are a few threads in the Suspension Sub-Forum with people using Springs only and then the ride quality suffered later. OEM shocks couldn't compensate for the higher spring rate.

I would get them as a pair or go with coilovers.

BTW, congrats and welcome

That's what I was thinking.

I know you're new but the first thing I'd do is get rid of your headlights. They'll just bubble and peel.
Lucky for you I have some 2006 headlights that we can trade each other.

Do the sways make any noises over time?

Looks like your off to a good start on your car! The V Leds make the interior pretty fun to look at! The roof spoiler is nice as well!
