Default Swift Springs Review - ModInJapan

Ordered a set of Swift Sports spring from Mod In Japan.
Vendor responded in a timely manner via emails and phone calls.
Price was very competitive and order processing time / shipping was good to.
Ride quality is very close to stock with a aggressive look. I am running 20mm/25mm spacers with no rubbing issues with stock tires. Wheel / tire gap is not present when the car is moving.

Big thanks to RICAM78 for recommending a install place at a very reasonable price

Looks great, I just ordered mine from Mod In Japan and I'm looking forward to replacing my Tanabe springs with these Swift.

I'm in the Dallas area. Who installed your springs?

Shardul looks great! I just ordered mine as well from Mod In Japan. With that being said I will soon have some tanabe springs with about 8k miles on them for sale once I get them swapped out with the swift springs.

Thanks for the comments guy. Looks a lot better in person.
I plan to install a 245/40 and 275/35 tire to get a more aggressive look

When you get your new springs installed, can you provide a comparison review between these new ones and your old tanabe springs?

Stance is perfect for a DD - hopefully they come out with AWD springs.

Absolutely, I plan to take before and after pics of the car from multiple angles. I hope to get them installed in the next few weeks. My car is currently at the dealer getting some paintless dent repair due to recent hail storms we've had in North Texas. According to the swift springs and specs the car should be just slighting higher than it is currently with the Tanabe springs.

Tanabe is a 1.0 front and 1.1 rear drop with really soft spring rates.

Swift is 0.8 drop all around and with a slightly stiffer spring rate. I'm hoping that the stiffer spring will help my rear end and front clip not scrape anymore on my steep drive way. I have to come in at an angle every time as it sits now and as you can see in the pic the wheel tucks under the fender pretty significantly.
