That's what I gathered online as well. It's not daily so I will wait a while before getting alignment.

Good choice and congrats! Looks rad! I'm still on the fence on if I want to drop mine or not. I was in between the swifts and the f sports, but there are quite a bit of disappointed members with the f sports; those with swifts are nothing but praise...shut up Josh!

Thanks, I was also convinced on getting the F-Sport springs but disappointed with the minimal drop I've seen. I will post up my experience after they settle.

Got any pics? Do you know how much actual drop after they settled and do you have camber kit? I'll probably install camber kit when I do the springs.
But I'm a little bit concerned about curbs since the front bumper is already pretty low on the f sport.

I love the drop! Very subtle but just enough for me. If you didn't know it was drop you could hardly tell. It will be perfect for flushed look when I get my 19s. It rides really good slightly stiffer than stock but very comfortable still. How long before yours settled? Did it drop much. I actually like the drop now and hoping it doesn't drop much lower once settled.

Some updated pics with Stillen splitter installed:

The drop in front is just over an inch and the rear is just less than an inch. No camber arms needed. Alignment came in within specs.Attachment 368625

Ok Swifts on the way with SPC camber arms, decided to get the arms to avoid any negative camber now/future

best springs in the market have them both on my 2IS and 3IS, but I have to say the drop in the 3IS is sexier than the 2IS
