Here's my car that is X package version - 18" rims, and comes with sport tuned suspension and springs, which gives almost close/exact to being on F-sport springs/stock suspension. It's all about closing the gap, just do it!

Heres my AWD is 350 with Fsport springs and the tiny stock 17's I plan to get some 19's this spring for her.
I love the look of coilover slammed is's...but I just can't get away with it here so I understand your dilemma roertrios and just went with the springs.

Jeff your car looks really good! Looks exactly like mine except cleaner cause your actually dropped!

Do you have Fsport struts too?

Also hows the ride like do you bottom out often? Would you let your girl drive your car if she was familiar with a lowered POS? I've thought about lowering my ride on coils but I'd like to drop it to the ground, unfortunately My girl's only car is my lex and am thinking twice about coils and maybe going with something subtle like the Fsport springs... I duno yet though...

Eibach Pro Kit which is essentially the same thing.

I'm on stock is350 shocks and the car still rides very smooth with no bottoming out.
