That's the look I want - need to save up for the F Sport Spring

I've been on H&R's for many years now being my DD. The ride is still comfortable and looks just right imo..

Car looks good, did you use other shocks or your oem shocks? I have H&R on F sport shocks and it rides good but kinda bouncy on the rear.

Eldr1dgE

still on oem shocks..however i am looking at some koni yellows for replacements in the future..

1bimmer

I may try Koni as well for the rear shocks, cause the F sport shocks rear are bouncy with H&R springs. Anyone else have this problem? The front is great only the rear is bouncy.

@1bimmer : 19" STR or 18" ? Look like 19s. But just curious. Bout to order some H&Rs in the next week.

1bimmer

I have stock oem 18s on my is350, the H&R springs are fine. My F sport rear shocks are bouncy. I have heard people used oem shock and rides good with H&R springs. I may have to put back my oem rear shocks with H&R springs for a better ride.

Whoops , i read the your reply with the pic of the car that belongs to the eldr1dgE and thought it was yours. But i think I may order them today since I found some shipped for 218$. So thats a steal. Just need to find someone to put em on! I have only 45K on my 2007 so I would imagine the factory shocks still have plenty of life? I dont drive her that often.

1bimmer

Yes that a good deal, and yes your oem low mileage shocks should work just fine. Goodluck

If you'd want complete control over your height, I'd definitely go with coils. With F-Sport shocks, you'll want F-Sport Springs or H&R Springs. Good luck with your set-up. Post back on how you did and feel!

Just ordered them from the good ol internet. Got em for a steal. I dont think we are allowed to mention sellers due to forum sponsors?? But if anyone is looking for them , feel free to PM me . Will post pics once they are installed and give her a good bath. Pollen is crazy here in VA. Gross.

Did you really only drop the fsport springs on OEM setup? Thought the fsport springs don't drop? I have the 2012 Fsport and want to drop 1" but shop says I need Eibach 1" & 1.4" springs for drop.

Thoughts?

Fsport springs pretty much are eibachs BTW. ** but the fsport package does not have fsport springs on the car****Your shop is incorrect. There are tons of options for lowering your car.
