F-sport shocks with oem sports package springs
I need to replace my shocks and apparently, the F-sport shocks are a lot cheaper than my OEM sports package shocks.
Are there any adverse effects of using F-sport shocks with OEM sport package springs?
I know they are designed for F-sport springs stiffer spring rates. To me that means the softer sports package springs should be over-dampened by the higher compression rate of the F-sport shocks.
I just want to be sure I'm not putting too much load on the shocks and cause them to wear faster.

Why not just get an OEM replacement shocks?
You do realize your stock shocks are made by Tokico right? Tokico manufactures it's own performance line at a much cheaper price than what Lexus charges for oem Tokico's. Check out Tokico HP Blues. I'm running those shocks on my OEM sport springs and no issues at all.
PM me for further details.
