Question re. IS250 suspension
Hey, bit of a stupid question...
I was looking through some of the parts available from Sewell and noticed there are f-sports springs and shocks...
I assume that the F-Sport package Lexus offers is equipped with both, or does it use the F-Sport springs running on non f-sport shocks?
Would the 1-inch drop with the F-Sport springs on the standard IS250 AWD shocks create a bumpy, firm ride? Could it also greatly depreciate the life expectancy of the shocks?

The F-Sport package is different, not to be confused of F-Sport accessories. The F-Sport package spring/shocks is a sport spring (which is linear) - it stiffens the car a bit and drops the car about 0.4" at the front and none in the back.
Note, the F-Sport springs is aggressive so it maybe harder to predict the feel. Also note, the springs/shock is meant for RWD, not AWD.

NOT NECESSARILY TRUE- if you go to sewell's page they list them for both (AWD and RWD)--same part number in bold.

I am curious, i am thinking of getting the springs with no shocks on my AWD.
However the intructions state:
Recommended Sequence of Application
F-Sport Springs should be installed at the same time as F-Sport Shocks
