Remember F-sport = Eibach
of course, the disclaimer of "take everything you read w/ a grain of salt" applies in this discussion. although on average lowering spring applications is the same across the board, you will have certain instances where they simply aren't considered a part of the "average".

coilovers are great - as long as you make full use of them. and no, "set'em and forget'em" does not qualify as that.

it's pretty well-known since before your time here that f-sport = eibach, but thank you for reiterating that.

haha...was just trying to inform the OP if he wants the perfect drop and functionality hes gonna need Coils or air. Springs will not do that because it lacks the ability of adjustments. Also was trying to inform him not to make the same mistake i did. I will be upgrading soon and eating the cost of the spring price.....

I do agree with you, coilovers are great, you shouldn't "set and forget," unless you achieve that perfect ride height which varies from person to person due to roads driveways etc....

I wouldn't doubt that F-sport = Eibach is pretty well known around the forum, but I bet you 90% of all the new members that are here posting for advice are not aware of that because they are not searching. If they were there would not be a new suspension topic every other day regarding Eibach/ F- Sport, H&R, Tien S/H - tech, and for the awd RoadMagnet.

Back on topic OP, Really consider how bad your roads are, your daily driving routine. Springs may be applicable for your daily use. With coilovers you have more adjustments and functionality to have and make the car perform the way you want it to perform

Wheels/tires are 19x9.5 +25" with 255/35/19 it gets rid of most of the gap
