Hey guys, I have a question on F-Sport springs. First, how do they ride compared to stock, also, what is the normal life expectancy of F-sport springs? I know the springs drop the car 1 inch all around, but will my tires rub if I have 20 inch wheels in the rear? Lastly, will my car look good dropped if I have 19 inch tires in the front and 20 inch tires in the back, or will it look odd? I just dont want to have any rubbing,or worry about getting out of the driveway due to potential scrapping of my Lexus front lip.

 

No you wont even have a rubbing issue at all.. To me an 1" drop isnt a drop IMO lolz.. Yeah it would look alot better on 19's cause 20's will make your car look like a 4x4 IMO. Well it depends on the road and how you drive your car will be the lifespan of the products you put on your car, know what i mean.

 

not a fan of sport springs but if ur looking for a tiny tiny drop i guess thats what u need then

 

Lol, if you couldn't tell I'm not very educated in the whole dropping your car thing. But what would be the best way to give my car a sexy drop that won't make my wheels rub? And what are the best springs to use? Coilovers are a bit too expensive for me at the moment, but I'm tired of the gap and I want something for the meantime. I have 20" rims in the rear and 19" rims in the front. Any suggestions?

 

Well pics will help. What are your specs? offsets?

mad wheel gap ^

 

Damn you need to get some Teins or H&R springs if you dont want to go coilovers. I would do a 1"1/2 drop in the front and 1".75 in the rears with a good finger gap. Not really sure tho, i never use springs b4

 

tein s-techs ftw or HnR springs are also good

 

What about eibach 250 springs?

 

Hey Guys -
Still wondering what the ride is like with the stock shocks and the lowering spring is like. I am also getting sway bars installed....
Thanks guys for any info....

 

i like my F sport springs, and as with other aftermarket springs or in this case OE sport performance? its stiffer than stock but tolerable. also i have it paired with the bilsten f sport shocks, so i have no comparison when paired with stock shocks. but the f sport shock and spring combo is obviously stiffer than stock but tolerable. it still feels like a Lexus, just a little sportier
