Any other opinions after getting the updated springs?? I'm sure there's a lot of F-sport springs owners here. To the people that aren't getting it done, how is your ride quality because I feel that the old rear ones were too soft.

Just give them a copy. Don't expect them to be especially useful.

I ordered mine from Sewell a few months ago, I have never heard a click from the rear. I guess I'm lucky!

Just had the TSB done with the newer springs and wow what a difference definitely liking the new springs better. Ride quality is pretty much the same as the older springs. Car feels a little bit more responsive, on throttle cornering is excellent, and as a bonus the clicking noise is gone

Yup. When I first got my springs put on at a Lexus dealership, they replaced one of my shocks (under warranty) because it was leaking.

Based on my cursory understanding, if the noise on the old springs is from coil slap, then the new ones would conceivably be firmer at some point, however, they may have just made the last part of the travel stiffer and left the inital feel the same. That's my hope b/c I have the oem sport springs and I'm swapping them out for the progressive f-sport springs to save my back
