Best go look in the fender wells. If you have blue springs. Then you have them. If not it's just the stock Fsport suspension parts. Which I think it's just the shock assemblies.

OEM F-Sport springs and dampers are different rates than base model. Spring ride height is 0.5" / 0.75" lower. I took the codes off my dampers and had a hell of time cross referencing them to anything else.

When I'm look at the springs it's just black. So I was already under the assumption that I did not have the lowering springs. BUT I just wanted to make sure. I wasn't sure if Lexus might have just painted them a different color from the factory. I didn't really know what the "F sport" suspension came with as far as springs.

IIRC, the F-Sport stuff that can be purchased is usually dealer installed if the buyer requested it when they purchased the car, not factory installed. You would need the actual purchase sheet to see. Otherwise, if you have nothing blue under your car, you have the regular F-Sport package stuff (well, the struts were silver)

You have the factory F-Sport suspension, which is different than the non-F Sport suspension, but not the same as the accessory F-Sport suspension.
