Thumbs up F-Sport Shocks

They have about 7k miles on them. They were originally installed by the dealer. 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

Did you have something welded to the side of the shocks? What are those welded marks on top of the F stickers.

That's dirt. The tabs on the rear shocks attach to the side of the car. Everything is OEM. No mods.

Still for sale.

They should last as long as stock shocks last, if not longer. Bilstein has better build quality. I would guess another 40k at least.
