Definitely noticeable difference over the stock or the 2-piece rotors. It’s weight reduction where it really matters the most; unsprung and rotational weight/mass. Virtually no dust, obviously no rusty rotors, and will last many times longer than iron rotors. Obviously not practical for those who regularly track their car, but that still depends on the person’s budget

Good indication here to anyone that was looking to just fit Swift Springs on their own, good inch on the front which will settle another cm or so, really happy with how the car sits now.
Will go Coilovers + Swift springs once it's time to do new shocks.

Quick question about your tires, and rubbing at all? I'm about the same gap but running 245/40/18x8.5+37. Do you think I would be able to clear 275/35 on 9.5+38? Running Kumho v730, they're kinda meaty. Noticed my fronts very slightly rubbed the liner in the canyon on the sharper corners with 2 adult males but no rubbing when I'm solo, thinking becuse of the 40 height, I had no issues when I had the Michelin 4s in the same 40 height.

Thanks!

Thank you! Yes, wheels stay clean for sure!
275/35 on your wheel spec will have a little more clearance compared to mine, given the same ride height. And yes, just a bit shorter overall than 245/40. Should be fine! I have not experienced any rubbing but I’m always solo though.

Thanks! I've been wanting to do a square setup next so was always curious, the current wheels were take off's from my IS350 so once the tires are due, would be a good time to pick up a new set of wheels =)
