Default F-Sport Spring

couple of questions.

1. Where did you guys get them installed at?

2. Did you install them on stock or f-sport shocks?

3. Ride quality compared to stock

I got quoted $635.28 to get the springs installed at my local dealership. Seems kind of steep.

Thanks!

I do not have F-Sport but I put TeinS springs on my OEM shocks. The install should be no more then 150$. Find another quality shop that wants your business! I had mine done for close to nothing by a tech at the dealer afterhours for cash

Yea, reason I ask about shocks is because I had Eibach prokits and KYB AGX shocks on my accord before I totaled it. I always read that if you get aftermarket suspension to always get aftermarket shocks. So I did, but the Lexus website says they can be paired with stock shocks I guess it's fine. Plus, it's not an extreme drop anyways, just 1in.

Yeah well if you want to do it RIGHT get the shocks too. If you want to save a buck then just springs are fine.

1) Self Installation
2) used stock shocks
3) ride quality is difference, maybe because I also installed the rear member brace the same time. I like the car much more now.

1) installed elsewhere, not dealer
2) stock shocks
3) ride quality a bit rougher on bumps, but still much like stock. looks way better.

Installed at an independent shop

rise is definitely harsher, but still pretty good.

Looks sweet - pics VS. co-worker's stock 350
