Go with coilovers bro, I made the same mistake. Megan and BC Racing are pretty inexpensive and cost less to install than springs usually. Nothing like the ability to adjust your height to exactly where you want it. Also springs will not drop the car evenly on all four wheels, my driver side was significantly lower than the passenger side with tight fitment it shows.....

Nice !!! The Vossen concaves are gorgeous wheels. They set the car off. The drop is conservative but gives the car a nice stance to go along with the wheels. I am very happy for you. You are going to love those wheels. I just ordered a set of the silver machined staggered 22" VVS082's for my LS460

Yep, many people have done it the important thing is to make sure that the rim and tire combo are the same overall diameter front and back!!!

I haven t heard to many good things about the F sport line, and personally I had lowering springs and wasn t happy with the drop. The car isn t balanced evenly on all four wheels so the drop will very on each wheel, on my car the driver side was almost half an inch lower than the passenger side. The F sport springs are also a slight drop I think an inch?? If your going with 19s I would go with a lower drop and highly recommend saving the few extra dollars and getting coilovers especially if your as OCD as myself you ll just end up going this route later anyway and doing it twice! I have BC Racing coilovers and love em my ride is smooth and sportier and my drop is evenly balanced do to the adjustment capabilities.
