Coming from someone who own Work CR Kai's and F-Sport springs, dont get the F-Sport springs! You'll want to go lower that that.

If not coilovers, at leat get the Eibach 250 or H&R springs.

Coconut; yeah? but i'd love to see more pics of those whose on 18" and F-sport. I'd probably considered about getting lower than f-sport due to road condition here. I want an aggressive stance without losing the comfort.

I am running 18x8 +30 front, 18x10 +36 rear, 235/40/18 front, 275/35/18

I think Demik's spec are 18x8 +25 and 18x9.5 +31, not sure about tire size

mikez; thanks dude. Looking great. Do you encounter any problems with those offsets? rubbing etc? I've always been a big fan of 19" but now m really thinking of getting 18" instead and drop with F-sport. Just realized that 2IS still can look sexy with 18". Woo!

No fender rolling or rubbing at all with my setup, I think my setup is as far as you can push offset wise on stock fenders without rubbing

mikez; do you have any pics of your 2IS from behind? Curious to see how the car looks like with 10 width wheels rear.

I'm getting 18's today! yay! this thread alone had made my decision for me to go with 18's over a 20 or possibly even the 19....and yes a new thread will be started (duh) ...but no one can laugh bc I'm waiting for my Tiens to arrive still..so I'm going to be monster trucking it for a week or so.

Thanks, personally I think CR Kai looks better on our cars

Just make sure you get the right offsets, the 18x9.5 +31 will rub in the rear unless you want to roll the fender, so don't exceed that.
