I installed them about 2+ weeks ago and had the alignment done back to factory specs as well and they lowered the front and rear 1" as advertised. Here are some before pics where I measured from top of fender well to top of the wheel

I have since mounted my 20' ISSForged 3pc wheels and will post pics once the car has been washed! 8-) Overall, quite happy with the stance and look and I too was on the fence of waiting for the F-Sport Springs or getting Tanabe or RS*R, but opted to go with Sport Springs from the many reviews/comments that they put out a good product. So far no issues and I was able to get factory alignment back to specs, which I had posted in this thread earlier with full print out. Hope this helps anyone in making the decision to pull the trigger or not. Happy F-Sporting!

wanwiz,
is it really a 1" drop? from your pictures it seemed more like half inch drop..
i was considering changing out my rsr super down springs to something more conservative but looking for a 1" drop

The OEM measurements were showing 5" from top of fenderwell to the top silver part of the wheel, and after it was only 4". To me that meant I got a 1" drop with the Sport Springs. They say a picture is worth a thousand words..but I will let you be the judge from my posted pics. Even the Installer said the same thing to me once they completed the installation.

If I had to do it over again, and the Tanabe NF's were available for shipment out, I would probably have gone with them...but the wait was killing me, since I had my 20" ISSForged 3pc wheels sitting in boxes since last November and just had them mounted. She's definitely sitting right now and will post more pics later in the week once I can get her clean and dressed up!

I would love to see your pics for the Tanabe springs once installed, as I know they claim a 1.1" and 1.2" drop for the front/rear? Either way you go, I think you shoud be fine getting the alignment back to factory specs.
