I had the dealer install the F Sport springs and Swaybars, front and rear.
Dropped the car almost an inch and gave it way more roll control.
I did loose some of the cushy comfort ride (as you will with ANY brand lowering coil) and that may be a concern if the roads you drive are less than smooth (as I recall driving around SF, the roads are pretty bad).

springs will make the ride a bit stiffer but the sway bars will make the ride even rougher. if you just want to lower it, go with f-sports (if you have the cash) or tanabe nf210s. both drop the ride height by about an inch

can't comment on f-sport, but the tanabe nf210 springs feel like stock. perfect for me (gives slightly lower stance and stock ride).

HDEddie - how are the springs and sway bars working out for you? have you noticed any knocking noises or wobbling that other threads have mentioned?
