Cool Installed f-sport springs

Finally got to installing the F-sport lowering springs for the CT. Nice slight drop, while still remaining 100% functional (impossible to rub or bottom out). Handing was greatly improved.. much less body roll than stock.

Yes sir. Right at the dealer. Otherwise I would have lost suspension warranty.

Yeah, main place to be careful is the curbs in parking spaces.

You've noticed them settling slightly? How many miles have you run on yours?

i have ran 2 tanks of gas since my f sport springs install ... so far either it hasnt settled down lower .... or i cant notice a diff =\

compared to my prev set of springs (road magnets), the f sports barely lowered it at all. but ........ i have to say these f sport springs def ride alot more comfy vs the other brand

Even if mine won't settle, I'd say that overall I'm decently happy with the results.
I can live with it

Yeah I agree, the ride quality feels identical to stock for me!

i am 100% pleased w/ the product, its a great blend of "it looks cool" slightly lowered, rides comfy like oem, but yet it handles better/sportier when driving "spirited"

also .... I installed these myself, and when I recently went into lexus of san diego for my 5k service.... they didnt even notice anything on the car has changed =) I guess its safe to say my warranty isnt voided ..... yet, lol

Default How much did the dealership charge??

Did ya get the blue ones or the stock fsport black ones? I guess if you buy and install the blues the dealer would be more likely to recognize them and give ya grief about not being covered under warranty?
