hey guys, does installing the f-sport struts and springs lower the car anymore than only installing the springs? i know the struts are a bit stiffer, but are they slightly shorter than the oem ones? thanks

F-Sport shocks (this car doesn't have struts) do not change ride height.

Guys, he is talking about comparing the extended length of the F-sport Bilstein shocks compared to the OEM shocks. He wants to find out of the spring will dangle or see if the vehicle will have awkward bumpsteer or wandering issues.

The F-sport Bilstein shocks are the same length as the OEM shocks. I'm not sure if the sport shocks (x-pack or IS350 sport pack) or the IS-F shocks are the same or not.
