I do too but I'm hearing crazy pricing on JIC coilovers right now. I'll wait.

The car is definitely lower, but you will see the final results in a few weeks. When I put the Eibach springs on my IS350 it didn't look any lower and I was disappointed but a few weeks later it was night and day difference.

Maybe i've missed it, but no one's actually definitively said if they are stiffer spring rates or not. I want them, but wouldn't get them unless they were equal to slightly stiffer rates.

I didn't know JIC made coilovers for the IS-F

I have a set of coilovers on "my" (not really) IS-F and they feel pretty good. Not sure if I'm allowed to say the manufacturer's name but if you do some research on the MotorworldHype IS-F you can find out. Or you can PM me.

I will say that after installing the springs and our wheels we did have to roll the fenders because there was some definate rub-a-dub.

This is what I heard, I have not confirmed it. Probably check with VIP Auto Salon.

It's not as stiff/bumpy. Give me a few days for the springs to settle and my wife and I will give you guys the full report. My kids sit in the back (6 & 9) and today I asked them is it just as bumpy? Of course they said we don't know

Didn't four of the Sema IS-F's have Tein coilovers

EDFC would be a great user friendly setup for track and street dampning

The JIC and Tein websites mention nothing about coilovers for the F

Eibach not as bumpy?!? That would be cool all else being equal but I expected the front to be lower. Let's see again after a couple weeks.

Of course not, because everything is "one off" for the IS-F as in we are months er years away from seeing anything come to fruition. Just look at it in here, so much commotion over crappy Eibach springs

Just my opinion but anyone who swaps out their TRD springs for Eibach are nuts!

It actually feels softer than the stock suspension right now. I kinda of miss that "snap" ha ha.
