Suspension Springs, shocks, coilovers, sways, braces, etc.

Installed F Sport springs... Kinda disappointed.

I just got the sways and will be installing them this weekend, along with a 15mm b2design rear spacer. Will update pics later

They are a must install to me. Really improves the handling. Be aware that if you drive on uneven surfaces like a cobblestone road, you will get tossed around a little bit. Really tightens up the feel of the car.

Are you AWD or RWD?

I have a white 3GS and I got the same wheels. They look great!

I am debating on getting RCA blocks or F Sport springs. If you're AWD then that looks really clean. It's about a one inch drop right? I believe just over an inch. Let us know. Thanks

Rwd, 25k miles, stock struts, f sport springs. If I had 50k miles, I would of gone with coils, stock struts still have plenty of life in them. I'm definitely getting coils later down the road.

I also got the sway bar installed last week and a 15mm b2design spacer in the rear installed, trying to get a hold of a dslr so y'all won't have to look at iPhone pics.

my opinion I think your car look good just like it is. im going to do 20's and if I have to lower it, im only going to do the F Springs.

Very nice, just sold my 2GS on BC's and picked up a 3GS CPO car. I was looking at the F-Sports to stay within warranty. Your post helped Thanks

Man i'm late but.... you mean they LOOK like IS250 wheels. He's right about them being 4GS wheels. Look them up brotha.... The IS250 wheels are thinner spokes, those are thicker.

The spokes are still too thin in the 08-10' IS..... Put the pics next to each other for comparison
