19's on F-Sports aren't THAT bad. Just depends on the angle you are viewing it at

You can get used coils for a resonable price on the classified section

Thanks for the suggestions! May I ask what front lip you have?

Here are my pics with H&R with 19" rims to give you an idea lol..

With H&R its low (1.4" drop up front - 1.3" rear) ... but not slammed/low enough where you are rubbing/scraping. You still have to be careful though...

Car looks great! Thanks!

However, which H&R should I get? The H&R Sport Springs or Super Sport?

I think your car has the perfect height . . but would it still be the case if wald is on ?

Posted is a pic of Josh's 350 with a Wald kit and BC Racing coilovers on 19" wheels. You don't HAVE to lower it if you don't want to, but it looks much better with it lowered and a kit.

Btw that side skirt is not Wald is it ... ?

You won't scrape on normal entry and exits. The sucky ones you will.. I even scrape my "4X4" IS sometimes LOL

I drive my car daily on coils and I'm pretty damn low right now. I'm raising it up for winter. This is why coilovers are a way better option. height adjustibility. You just need to take the wheel off and wrench it for a bit.

I had a set of F-Sport springs. Except jerks like JoshIS408 and Sffd103 made me jealous which forced me to go more badass

So I sold the springs before I even put them on and bought coils. Yes, they're expensive. But damnping and height adjustability is well worth it especially if you daily drive.

You won't scrape too much if you're careful. I only scrape getting into my parkade, which I even have to slow down for in my Tacoma. I mean look at the ground clearance I have just getting out of my driveway lololololol

Thanks! Do you have a pic of your car?

I'd love to get coils but I don't have the cash for it =( If that's the case, which spring specifically should I get if I want to be conservative? H&R super sport?
