Scared of F-Sport Springs!
I just got my f-sport springs!
But, i am scared of throwing them on because of the clunk noise
Do the springs really help in the body roll?
How much stiffer is the car with them?
Is it worth it?
What do you think i should do? Help
Thanks ALL!!!

Feels kind of like stock, it is better during 80% of daily driving.
And the clunk noise? I dont notice it anymore, I dont understand why people have a morbid fear of them? Usually the bumps that can cause the spring to clunk make your whole car goes bam anyways since it takes some speed and force to hit it that hard.

If you really worry about the noise, then just buy some silencers that you can slip on the springs which cancel the noise. It really doesn't make that much noise anymore, and I just ignore it since it's probably just coil slap and the stealership cant figure out whats wrong with it. anyways, it's a nice to have because the 1" drop all around makes a big difference. =)

LOL. My threads cause people to lay awake at night in fear.
As others have stated, the issue is not major. To be on the safe side, I would put the silencers pisay suggested on the springs before you install them.
P.S. Sorry for scaring you

No, you should buy about 5 packages to be safe. Each pack comes with 2 silencers. Since I have not done this PM RTIS250. He is a Lexus tech and has done this fix:
