Default F-Sport to Tein S-Techs...

Hey CL, I am thinking about switching my F-Sport springs to Tein S-Tech bc i want to go just a tad bit lower. My ? is will i notice that much of a difference in the ride? And its it worth the time and money to make the switch?

its worth it.

once you go with coilovers, you won't go back to springs.

btw - have you been happy with the ride quality of the F-Sports (or what's your impression so far)?
