i would save the money your putting towards another set of springs and buy megan coils. roughly 800 bucks and you can do the install yourself, thats what im gunna do because i was debating on going to h&r's but cant justify it when im guna eventually end on coils

so if you have an F, I assume that you're running on 19's, and the combination of 19's and tein s-techs are pretty good. IS-F sets you up with good stance and offset, and for what you're going for it seems like that little drop that tein s-tech springs have will be perfect for you.

coils rule, but don't get them to get them. you gotta invest a good amount and for what you're looking to do they just don't seem worth it.

i recommend reviewing this thread here:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...d-for-2is.html

(note: eibach pro-kit = f-sport)

even though i had tein s-techs for my 2is, i have not had first-hand experience w/ f-sport springs, so i can't make a direct comparison of the two.
