Can you install the f-sport springs on the stock shocks without it leaks prematurely?

Just install and alignment

Leaking prematurely with change to F-sport springs is more urban myth than anything else, and not related to f-sport springs.

^ From what I understand, the springs will wear out your shock quicker though. When that happens, it's time to upgrade to coils.

I've had Eibach springs on my stock shocks on my Civic for 80K. Still on stock shocks and no leaks!! Not really true. They won't wear out sooner.

Yes, from what I hear, it's possible (and the urban legend continues, when it comes to F-Sports).

Or in many cases downgrade to coils because many coils have inferior shock components (needing rebuilds just as frequently if not more frequently than stock shocks).

I purchased F-Sport Sway Bars from Sewell for $430 (tax/shipping) and had it installed at my local dealership for $250 back in June 2010. I think they spent about 2 hrs to swap it out.

I recently had the F-Sport Shocks and Springs purchased and installed at my local dealership for a grand total of $1,400 (parts, taxes, labor, and alignment). I think they spent about 4 hrs for labor (at least that's what they told me). I think $1,400 is a decent price for a dealership, considering the MSRP of the parts cost $1040 alone before taxes (springs $299, shocks $740) The only reason why I had it done at the dealership is for warranty purposes (car is 2010 model) and I don't think there's any other aftermarket parts available for the IS convertible yet.

Hope this helps!
