Only issue with my F-sport SE is making sure the curb is low enough not to scrape the door when getting out.

Default Springs, sway bars update

I had the F-Sport springs and sway bars installed on my 2012 F-sport by my Lexus dealer just a few days ago. It really is just an inch or so lower, but to my eye, it sure changes the appearance in a positive way. Was out of town all weekend so haven't driven it more than a few miles, thus I can't yet speak much to either handling enhancements or ground clearance, but will share my impressions over the next few days. Thanks.

Hey guys, I just bought a used Ct200h Fsport and i want to lower the car a little more to where there isn't any wheel gap. If anyone has any springs/coils for sale please let me know.

I've been looking at new rims too. Would 18x8.5/9.5 Enkei Lusso rims fit?

If anyone has any feed back with rubbing please let me know.

thank you!

Lowering springs won't close the wheel gap. I have Tanabe's NF210 on 17" and looking to go with 18" and coilovers or Air.. havnen't made up my mind.

I'm curious if any of the Prius kits would fit.
