Well, I am entertaining updating the suspension on my 2010 IS F to 2011 specs when the parts are available so I called up the dealer for a quote on the new parts needed.

It turns out that 4 four shocks specs have changed but only the front springs are changing for 2011. He also mentioned that no other suspension parts are changing as he looked in the parts database. So it will be near $2k for parts and labor to update to 2011 specs. I think I'll test drive one later to see if the upgrade is worth it.

Then he missed some things. The links in the rear suspension are definitely different. The FSM shows they're significantly shorter on the top link, which probably means everything but the lower control arm is different.

I am also seriously considering this, but I'm pretty confident the limited slip is worth a lot more time than the rear suspension updates. I doubt I'll spend my money on revised shocks though. I'd rather spend my money on something I can tune effectively.

^^ Torsen LSD and a good set of Coilovers for you!!

I never looked back once I went coilovers.. and thats for daily driving only..

I guess they finally realized the IS-F was daily driving harsher than an LFA.. LoL

does that mean the alignment specs are also different? if so, it would make it very confusing for the techs who have to align the wheels.

So does this revised suspension make it ride a little smoother? I'm with Joe, I think stock suspension needs to ride smoother for us daily commuters.

If this is possible.....very nice.

A great alternative to aftermarket coilovers.

I was considering KW V3's, but I'm down with this if it will improve the ride/handling....noticeably.

Yea for 2k you are better off just getting some coilovers and call it a day.
