as far as i know, fsport is the only one right now?

when you get springs, it's always recommended to change shocks as well. this is because with lowering springs, you are putting more stress on stock shocks and thus wearing them out faster. a correctly paired shock set will avoid that

based off your location (NY) i would assume that you have an awd gs. if that is the case, f sport shocks/struts will not work as they are only made for the rwd gs. the rear suspension between the 2 are the same, its the awd bracket on the front struts that are different.

I wouldn't suggest it! Not worth the money. If your going to spend the money why not just get coils and call it a day?
