should i spend the money on the fsport struts???
Is it really worth the money to get the fsport struts or is it a waste of money? I suppose for a few hundred more I could get coilovers, but actually was pretty happy with the height and ride of my pro kits. Has anyone purchased these in addition to whatever springs they are on? Was it a wise investment? Should I use my money on this rather than on something else like sway bars etc... any and all the input is greatly appreciated.

i never had a aftermarket spring and shock combo before, but i can tell you with coils which have stiffer struts it is def noticeable, im sure with fsport shocks the ride will be stiffer, firmer, and will improve handling but ofcourse will feel not as comfortable on bumpy roads as that is the drawback of a stiffer suspension, also fsport products were designed by lexus and specifically for our cars, im sure they didnt make it unbearable to use

THANK YOU FUZZIE! that was exactly the answer I was looking for. i just really wanted to know if I should wait and buy the fsport shocks then install my prokits, or it wasn't really worth it and just go dropped on stock shocks again. I too was kind of okay with the ride on stock shocks but looking for something better. It felt a little bouncy. Thank the rest of you for the Input as well, if I had not already purchased the springs and was starting from ground zero then a coilover option would probably have been the choice for me. We shall see, but I like what I'm hearing. Anymore opinions or options? I'm all ears!

+1 on the crappy ride with F-Sport springs/OEM shocks. Instead of getting the F-Sport shocks, I chose to pay a bit more for coilovers. I sold my F-Sport springs to make back some of the money. I like having adjustable height and dampening, not sure if these qualities are important to you. With the adjustable height, I can finally get rid of the dreaded Lexus lean (passenger side height is noticeably higher than driver side).
