I also think the best route to lower this car is with springs, at least for those with the F Sport. Can't really justify giving up so many ride settings at the turn of a **** just to be on coilovers. I had coils on my 2IS and absolutely loved them but it's not worth doing on the 3IS. Now, if they're able to keep all the features while still being on coils then that's a whole new different story.

Dropped the car off this morning at Velos Designwerks here in Miami to get the coilovers installed. I told the shop owner to send me tons of pics of the install.

Bunch of rude drama posts removed. Bob4256, genaos11, shawnd, blueprint please exit this thread.

Enough of this; lets not see this spill out into other threads again.

good choice in coils , the rates are either 10/9 or 12/10. a friend of mine got a kit for his 3is in Beijing. Can wait to see the final install.

That's pretty impossible since this is the first set for the 3IS 250/350 ANYWHERE in the world. Plus China only gets the 250

RS*R coilover install completed yesterday and I love the ride quality, considering im slammed I think the RS*R coils feel great. I am going to mess with the ride height and dampening more this weekend and will post some pictures once she sits exactly the way I like.

Sorry for the delay in pics guys/gals. I haven't had time to adjust the ride height yet. I will post some pics later on today. But I will say, I love how the coils ride, the comfort level is amazing.

Quick pic I took this morning while at the dealer getting my remote window settings done to my liking.

Loving the RS*R coilovers. I have them set pretty low and the dampening set at the stiffest front & rear.
