Oh yeah I can definately put a sideways fist in there. Just saying compared to Yangs first pick on this post. Looks like he may have started out with some issues. It was sitting way up in the front. Im just stock with 17's and I sit level at least... Gonna fix the drop soon....dont worry:-)

Its been over a year now, Yang, has the "wobbles" happened at all? I've had my NFs for 2 years now and i don't mind the vibrations, but the wobbles are really embarrassing, the passengers ask if i have a flat while accelerating for 0-20...I'll change to F-Sport if the wobble doesn't happen, maybe the few cm's in the front make a difference?

It happens once in a great while. Really not that often and no one has asked me if I had a flat. Perhaps I just accelerate too quickly haha. The NFs is about the same drop as F-Sport so I can't imagine the F-Sport springs getting rid of the wobbles in your case.

That's strange. My Eibach springs came with two bump stops for the rear!

probably the cheapest mod you can do on this car

now you can remove the GS350 decal, and slap on an FSport.

Where can I get that emblem?

I think most are just springs.

Take it back to the dealership for rattles.
