Thumbs up F-Sport Springs and F-Sport Shocks

They have about 7k miles on them. They were originally installed by the dealer. They have been taken apart, so they can be sold separately. This suspension definitely increases handling in the car. Here is a review done by Edmunds. It states that an F-Sport equipped IS250 is faster in the slalom than an IS-F!

Here is my initial review thread from when I first go the suspension. I loved the suspension, but I wanted to go a bit lower in the front. The rear is fine. The clunk noise is attributed to the coil slap on the F-Sport Springs. The high speed float is attributed to the progressive rate on the F-Sport Springs:

Price:

F-Sport Shocks = $450 shipped
F-Sport Springs = $200 shipped SOLD

Yes, I bought coilovers because I wanted to go lower in the front (the rear has a great drop). But now I am regretting it because I am rubbing with the coilovers

Sewell's price does not include shipping. They are heavy, so it will probably be $50 for shipping. I am basing my prices off of that. It is OBO too.
