I also had the F-Sport springs installed today. I measured the before and after heights and it is exactly 1" drop as advertised. I'll measure again when it settle a bit more.

Nope
Never thought to take pics before I modified it cuz it looked like almost every other IS
7.5 hours I believe
Got them for the discounted price from Sewell
I feel massive gains, cuz I actually push my car now
(I have a 250)
Seriously though, not much haha

7.5hours to install springs and intake?
That seems like a very long time for springs and intake. Consider intake should take no more than 30mins to complete.
Thats 7 hours to install springs.

Are the springs side specific? In other words is there a left and a right coil to compensate for the lean of the car or do they still lean to the left after the spring install?

Thanks for the pics of the F-Sport spring install, looks like I need to install these asap. Your car looks great!!! I need to obtain a spring compressor myself. Did you obtain an alignment at the same time?

i think looks nice and clean, too bad our cars did not come like this stock, as far as the front higher than the back....our cars have always been like this from factory, a stock height IS still has the back lower than the front, the only to correct this is to get the Eibach springs that actually lower your card more in the front then in the rear....its the only spring ive seen that has it right, all the other lowering springs still have the same issue...theres a pic somewhere here of a lightblue IS with chrome stocks that has the correct Eibach springs...
