Getting F-Sport Suspension Installed Tomorrow!
Very excited. I'm getting my F-Sport shocks, springs, and sway bar set installed tomorrow at Exact in Milpitas. That's everything except the rear brace! I just wanted to share my excitement If you are in the area and are bored, I anticipate being at the shop for quite some time while everything's being installed.
I read quite a bit about the clunk issue-- luckily John at Exact carries the Tein silencers.

ALRIGHT! Installation went perfectly, thanks to John @ Exact Motorsports in Milpitas. Also thanks to VikH for his old F-Sport shocks The rest of the parts came from Sewell.
All I can say is: WOW! I think ALL body roll is gone. The car also looks noticeably better, 1" lower.
Ride quality is still very good, though big bumps on the freeway do get transmitted into the cabin. I can also feel more of the road through the steering wheel. I had John throw on a pack of Tein rubber silencers on each rear spring (see pics). NO CLUNK in any situation!
Everything is very quiet, I think even quieter than stock, when rolling at normal speeds. Stability seems much improved at high speeds (75MPH+) and car responds very directly to steering input. Very very pleased with thte outcome.
Some iPhone pics -- and a few pics of the parts close up.
