So, I pulled the trigger on the Tein S Tech springs and I added some 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers. I spent a lot of time looking at pictures and I found one with the S Tech and spacers, and I felt that that overall look was perfect. If everything arrives as scheduled, I should be able to get these on this weekend. Hopefully, it won't take too long to do. I have changed springs before, and I have been able to get everything done in under 3 hours, but this will be my first time with the IS. I also order the F Sport rear sway and the GFX front lip, so those will be going on as well. Already installed the Tanabe exhaust.

does anyone who has H&R springs also run stock shocks? I prefer the H&R drop over F sport, but am a lil worried about how long the shocks will last. I would assume the shocks would last longer on F sports than H&R's b/c it's a bigger drop?

That's been discussed before, and all you get is mostly speculation. One member did report shocks being blown at 6K miles with H&R springs, but most with technical knowledge feel the shocks were defective to begin with. A vast majority of the shocks last as least as long as the factory warranty, with or without lowering springs. Going as low as H&R does reduce ride quality per detailed reviews by owners.

Try a search for more info.

I know, I have been slacking. I will try to get some pics up this weekend. If the weather is nice, I am going to clean my car tomorrow and then I will take some pictures and post them up.
