it gives 1" drop F and 1.2" rear i gues.... the car itself is already lower on the front and higher in the rear... so the drop is proportional.... and i think it's better to get aftermarket Springs for the money

That looks far more lower than what F springs do. Are you sure you don't have your backseat loaded?

I just got F-sport springs too. The drop is almost like Gemini's car. Front needs to settle a little more.

So it looked like this to begin with? Nice. I was wondering if the springs settled over time or anything.

I have F Sport springs and Shocks with 19s too and my car doesn't look anywhere near as low as gemini. My tires don't tuck under my fender at all.

That's what I'm saying! LOL F-springs do not make the tires tuck in like that. Something more is going on here or I am confusing who has what...
