Post F-Sport Spring on a 250

I'm thinking of picking the F-Sport springs from Sewell.. It's an 1 inch drop all around. But one of my main things was, the F-Sport springs are for the IS-F, giving it a 1 inch from it's stock stance. But I want to throw them on my stock 250. Will it still be a 1 inch all around...?

I didn't find any info with the "search" If the topic has come up before can someone post the link for me...Thanks

im pretty sure the F-sport springs and anything in the "F" line are for all the ISx50 not solely for the IS-F.

search damnit!!!

j/k, this is the first i've seen this question asked. I don't think the F-Sport springs are necessarily for the IS-F. I think the whole F-Sport line is designed for the ISx50, and the IS-F has its own separate (maybe some the same?) components.

P.S. Thanks for searching first and posting in the right sub-forum

F-Sport springs are for 250/350, and it's a different spring than what comes stock on the IS-F

You know I'm pretty sure if you put these springs on an IS-F it'll actually RAISE the car..the "F" line of product is for the non IS-F's out there..

I'm seriously tempted to hit the buy button on the springs. But like you, I'm not sure about the drop, comfort, etc etc. So I'm just waiting it out till a review comes along.

My original thought was it was suppose to lower the stock height of the IS-F one inch..

F-sport parts are made for ISx50. Although there are mud flaps and 22" IS-F wheels for the LX570 i think.

that car is probably equipped with every F-sport accessories, including the shocks, and if the shocks shaft is shorter, the car may sit lower.
