Currently still lowered on Tanabe springs, although I have a set of Swift Springs I've been wanting to put on sometime soon. The Tanabes are just a little too soft for my taste.

Looking very nice, I've had my eye on Swift springs for a while (I'm still stock) and look forward to your experience with them, as well as comparison photos to the Tanabes since Swift is slightly less drop.

Assuming those pictures were from today, you look like a criminal with that registration sticker.

HAHAHA!!! I actually took that about 2 weeks ago and my registration sticker is now good for another year. It's also been placed in a more appropriate lower spot on the windshield now that Texas went with one sticker for both registration and state inspection. I think last year sometime I still had a inspection sticker below it.

What part of TX are you in? I've asked around a bit in the ATX area and it doesn't seem many shops exist that specialize in Lexus. I've been holding back from buying springs until I know I've got a place I trust with the install. Don't really have the time or equipment to do it myself these days.
I've used Jotech Motosports http://jotechracing.com/ in the past on a G37 and M37S I put springs and exhaust on and they do good work. Wheel Experts of dallas did my wheels and springs this round on my lexus but while they still do wheel packages they are a small boutique shop and no longer have a mechanic that does performance work.

Swift Springs, SPC Rear camber & Megan racing Front camber arms
Finally got around to swapping out my Tanabe springs for Swift springs as well as installing SPC rear camber arms & Megan Racing front camber arms. The ride is slightly smoother and less bumpy now with the Swift springs, the ride height it also a tad taller than it was on the Tanabes. but I'm ok with that I still think it sits nice. And my front fender doesn't rub anymore when I'm turning the car with the wheel turned all the way so that's a plus. I have only driven it about 50 miles with the new springs so I will need to spend some more time before I can give a good review but so far I'm more happy with the new springs. Now I just need to get it in for an alignment. Here are comparison pics of before and after.
1st pic is with Tanabe NF210 springs (Front spring rate 3.6kg/mm) (Rear spring rate 6.5kg/mm)
2nd pic is with the Swift springs (Front spring rate 5.0kg/mm) (Rear spring rate 7.5kg/mm)
