If I wanna upgrade the suspension for my X-Package IS250 with F-Sport stuff, does anyone think it's worth it to upgrade both the F-Sport Shocks and the F-Sport Coil overs?

or do you guys think it's sufficient to just buy the F-Sport Coil overs since my X-Package already comes with a Sports Tuned Suspension.

if your gonna get f-sport springs its fine, but if your gonna get the shocks too then why not get a better set. f-sport springs are a good way to upgrade stock stuff. But i dont see a reason to go shocks because for that price you can get a better performing set. Though to keep warranty you might have to get the f-sport stuff. If you are limited then ofcourse max it out with springs AND shocks that are f-sport. But if you can go another route i would, f-sport is not the BEST, it is good though. IMO.

I am limited to f-sport due to lease. So i just did the springs, shocks aint worth it for me.

My impressions
stock, I really liked the 250 more than the 350 b/c the 350 engine is so strong, it overpowers the chassis sometimes.
The 250 would be better on a smaller course, the 350 a longer one where you can open it up.

The F-sport package really transforms the handling, well worth the money. Not jsut springs and shocks but the sway bars really keep the handling flat.
