F sport blue springs

F sport blue springs
Finally pulled the trigger on a 2015 Fsport, but the last owner put coil-overs (2” drop) and 18’s. Ride is pretty rough, and would like it to be smoother. He provided the stock suspension (~40k) black springs.
Wondering how much better stock suspension would be with the blue springs?
And, what site have you guys used to buy the f sport blue springs? Lexuspartsnow or mylparts legit?

I buy all my Lexus springs from eBay. Two lexus dealers in Arizona have ebay accounts. They're super fast and the best prices. I think SSLExus parts or something. i always get confused. try both see who has the better price.
Yes throw those "coilovers" in the trash and pick up the Lexus blue springs.
The blue springs are noticably firmer and make a stiff ride even stiffer. They do improve handling but they do make an already tiny car appear a bit tinier and lower. My CT would look like a kids car from some angles with the springs, and nice from other angles.
Overall i'd say they're nice if you really prioritize handling. I'm not 100% sure i'd be enthused about doing it again though and may just stay stock. the ride is slightly jarring.

Ride is so much better after raising it 1”. Just bought the blue springs and probably put them on in a few months.
Great info, thanks.

However like E46CT said there is a Lexus dealer who is all over ebay and they have great prices too. For future reference think its Bell North Scottsdale Arizona. Something like that and I saw they had the springs recently for $190

Thanks Homer. My order with myL got cancelled as they explained that they are only available as replacements. Ended up getting them on eBay from sslexus.
I’m going to follow E46 diy guide on the blue spring replacement (excellent btw). Currently have BC coilovers.

Thanks. Did I create a guide on spring replacement? i totally forgot LOL.
and yep those are the two stores. each time i buy from them i get the two mixed up and i always forgot the name(s)
they've both been good to me and really fast. my most recent buy from them is the lexus illuminated sills for my ES. less than half what you'd get charged if you buy it as an option from the factory..
they always ship super fast.

there are many springs which will fit, but only so many which are made for your car specifically. They maybe didn't engineer the shocks for these springs, but they engineered the springs for your shocks, kind of, if that makes sense.
I used a good brand for my IS and same thing.

Been a while since I read your thread but I dont think there was a guide.
Yea. Benefit of getting these springs is they are designed with your specific model in mind.

My car came with the blue springs, I love the look but I don't like that it scrapes on almost any driveway entrance, I installed a cheap ricer lip.
