I'm sure there are minor differences such as exact ride height and spring rate for how hard/soft it is. F-Sport is pretty mild and similar to the Tanabe NF series. The Tanabe DF series however is more aggressive with a bigger drop and I would assume firmer spring rate.

Go BCRacing coilover definitely worth the extra money it's going to cost you in the long run anyway from premature shock wear. Plus you ll have a better ride since the spring isn t compressed to lower the car the whole strut threads into itself to shorten it instead ( monotube)

I like this mod!

Can you please say how much is the gap in the front.
From the front bumper to the ground.

Or just to post "attached image" in better quality. This will be enough. Thanks anyway for sharing.

The car looks great. I wish Lexus would kill some of the gap like the 5 series BMW. They look dropped at stock height

Hey, I just measured it. From the edge of the paint to the ground is about 7.5 inches for me. So for RWD it would be close to 7 inches. Hope this helps.

I think these pics are useful for those who will be interested in "F-Sport Drop"
