It's alright that you had to take off man I still appreciate you coming down and helping me out! KT ordered some F-sport Springs for his IS and sais to me 'man you are going to help me install them right?' and I said ummmm. No take it to a shop
Haha I thought that was you on clark. I was at the Starbucks by the BMW dealership. Well I'm glad everything worked out good even though they gave you the wrong spring compressor . At least you found a new way to install springs though .

Yeah, I was hoping my suspension wasn't going to fall off the car after using my innovative spring install method .

So how hard was it? I'm waiting for my SPC rear arms to come in. Did you have to drill a bigger hole to fit the rear SPC bolt?

Didn't need a Toe bolt. The stock toe with aftermarket camber arms was enough to get the rear camber/toe perfect. The springs were pretty hard but we ran into some issues that you would probably not have to deal with as long as you make sure the guy gives you the right spring compressor.

Just finished my front spring install. Took about 2 1/2hours for the front left, because I was figuring everything out. And the front right only took about 45min. Pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

Rear finished last night as well. Not hard at all, only problem I had was lining the screw up. Installed S-tech, not happy about the drop at all. To minimal.

That's good you didn't have as much trouble as I did . That sucks you aren't happy with the drop though. If you dislike it enough to get different springs you should seriously consider Vogtland springs. These things ride amazing and the drop is perfect imo. 1.4 all around. I will take pics tommorow and put them up.

Give the spring some time to settle before making a decision.

Bought them used, so I'm assuming they had their time to settle.
