I put my order in for my '15 FR-S and I had no idea why fog lights and lowering springs were conflicts. Good to know (or at least have any idea)!

Anyone running springs and sways? I have to put my accessory order in around June and I'm not sure what to go with. I loved the way the FR-S Experience cars drove and they were on the springs. Not sure about sways.

Have them installed

I have the Trd lowering springs and sway bars installed. Also quick shifter , exhaust and intake. It is all a really nice combo. Springs and sways feel great. A lot less bounce than expected. Still waiting for the springs to settle prior to alignment. Ordered the springs from Toyota territory online and came in 4 days. All the rest of the parts where online from the cheapest location. Had them all installed at the dealer at a hookup as bought the car there.

The feel of the car is great with the suspension upgrades. It feels a lot more planted and the lower cg is noticeable. It currently sits with a little more than 2 fingers gap. I will have adjust pics as iPhone.
