I've heard this from 3 or four other people as well. Did you try tirerack.com?

thanks bigmike for the tirerack.com suggestion... just went there and picked up the last one in stock! can't wait, should have them installed by the end of this week unless they tell me they made a mistake and they don't actually have it in stock.

No worries! Hopefully they won't do that to you, that would suck. Post up pics once you get them on so we can see how they look

just got the springs delivered... gonna do the install friday... can't wait!

oh, another thing... called couple shops and they wanted to charge $300 for the springs... tirerack.com had them for around $240... just in case others were looking

i got mine like two months ago and already put them on! 279 with tax included

Would you know if there is a front lip spoiler around for the ISF? I noticed some lift sensation going on when I drove it to its limit ( I saw the needle at almost 280). I think it's a question of aero dynamics. I never got this in the Subaru running at th same speed. Is it the AWD which adds traction in front? The huge spoilers at the rear help a lot too.

DMS from Australia makes excellent coil overs, adjustable 32 ways. I have them in my Evo and in the Subaru.... perfect.

There are two front lip spoilers out for the F right now. Lexon and Autocouture make them. Your the first person to mention lift in the front of the car, interesting

Hi everyone,can someone put up some pix with the eibach spring on the car please,i see lots of people are happy with them,but my main concern is (o.7'' front and 0.3'' rear) how does it look.The front fender gap bother me lil.can someone help me on this one,i am hesitating between tein and eibach,tein offer you more drop(about 1''front and 0.6''rear) but i am currently runnin on 20x11 rear i am affraid it would rub even more then now(fender have been shave),that's why i want to go with eibach it drop less but i want the front fender gap out.Coilover not an option for me i ride my car everyday, plus coilover not cheap as well.if someone can provide me pix with eibach already on the car it would help me so much.thanx in advance

Many thanx bigmike for your help,sorry disturb you a lil again any side shot of of that black car both tire front and rear.Since you know alots does it change anything on the ride if i decide to put tein spring in front and keep my stock on the rear??i am so positive if i do put the rear spring(tein) it will rub 100%,what i see right now from the rim i got i have like 0.7''max for shure(my tire size is 295/25/20.If once installed the spring and i can't even put my finger between fender and tired i am looking only for trouble(police will pull me over everytimes)i really dont want any trouble since it is my everyday car.what do you suggest me tein or eibach???and by the way what do you have??you are lower the other, coilover???

According to the Tein website, their springs only drop the car 0.6" in the back and 1" in the front. The Eibach springs only drop the car 0.3" in the back and 0.7" in the front. If your concerned about rubbing and don't want to go with coilovers, then I would personally get the Eibach set (it is also cheaper). The decision is ultimately up to you. Do you have any pictures of your F? I didn't even know Tein had a spring set for the F out until recently. I haven't heard anything about them but I have driven in cars with the Eibach springs.

I don't have any more pictures of the black IS-F, that was a little while back and he and I haven't taken any more pictures together in a while. I do not have anything done to my suspension. The reason my car looks lower is because I have a front lip on it

Thanx BIGMIKE i will try to put some pix tonight .

the white one has eibachs as well NOW

Write down the drop rates of the springs that you can find on their respective websites and then take a tape measure or ruler and go out and measure how much each respective set will drop the car. If it's not enough for your liking, then go with coils. There is quite a price difference between springs and coils though
