ilv1004s Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 180? seems cheap alright if they only charge around 80 an h/r if they can do it in 2 hours iv done heaps of springs installs on the 2IS but 2 hours is abit pushing it with good tools and everything id say give suspension city a go if they want to charge more than $180 after spending 4 hours on it tell him to get stuffed as u choos them cuz of the price. and they should really honour their original quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-lexus Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 i am a bit concerned about the so call noise from the f-sport spring.. i readed on the US forum that you'll get a clunk noise when cornering or going over bumps.. just wondering if anyone here with the f-sport spring can give me some idea of the noise and whether it's liveable with or if there is a fix? thank you..

Atlantis Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 You'll get that with virtually any lowered spring setup. As the overall spring height is lower, bumps will shake the spring slightly in its seat. Only (easy) way around it is coilovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-lexus Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 finally got my f-sport spring installed at suspension city.. saw a couple of other lexus in the workshop, gave me confidence that they know what they're doing. cost was only $180 ..that's pretty cheap i think so far i love the change, the ride is a little firmer and i sort of feel the road more..but best of all is the lowered look. best money spent i think.. hmmm what next? exhaust? i don't want to rice it up but wouldn't mind a more sportier note.. what exhaust are people using?

k2sty1 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 nice, i would love some springs on my IS but i think the car should get lower as the springs settle in a bit more (well thats what ive heard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexus issued new rear springs to fix the problem. http://is.sewellparts.com/pdf/L-SB-0151-09.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
