Default Opinions: F-Sport vs. H-Tech

Hey everyone, I was looking for the opinions of people that have either of these lowering springs. I have a 2009 IS250 AWD and want to lower it. I searched through many threads and know the pros and cons of each spring but I wanted personal experiences.

I am only looking to lower my car only a little (doing 20s) and am concerned about ride comfort. I know the ride is going to change some but I don't want to sacrifice much. If anyone has these opinions/views of these springs please let me know! Thanks.

Thanks Alantjai. Are you currently running the H Techs? I was leaning towards them since I've read they are not harsh at all but I am nervous about the front drop. From pics I have seen the drop is kind of still big in the front, where as the F sports seem more even (still lower in the back but the front just seems a little lower).

I'm planning on getting H Tech.

The drop is very conservative from the pics I have seen in comparison to to S tech which is an aggressive drop. Comments I have read that people would get the initial impression that the car did not look like it was dropped because it still has a wheel gap (but actually, it's actually smaller, and looks just right for a conservative drop).

For F-Sport yes the rear would sit lower because H Tech's read drop is 0.3" in the rear.
