Compiled Coilover Information

I actually was speaking with Figs for a bit, the 16 springs were backordered a few weeks when I was ordering and I figured I would try the 18/14 set up. I was originally going with 16/12 on BC BR but upgrade to DS because of the stiffer spring. Depending if you prefer stiff or soft,,, 20/16 sounds pretty stiff o.o
Does anyone here have a pair of swift springs16k (or close for BC coils) that they're looking to get rid of?

Thanks! I've emailed Figs to get some guidance and really appreciate the feedback here and I misunderstood your response. I thought you wanted the ISF to be stiffer, but sounds like you were referring to your IS350.

I'm on BC BR + Swift 14/12 on my IS350 at 100k~ miles with no issues
My IS F is on BC DS + Swift 18/14 and rides smoother (dampening) at near stiffest setting than my IS350. 15clicks (about half) softness was super cush and comfortable but I prefer it to be stiffer.
Both cars are set about 2 finger gap all around.
Very happy with both, mostly just street and spirited corners with occasional canyons

They ride softer and more comfortable than the BR and other ISF/RCF/GSF owners have ridden/drove my car and like them too, The BRs are generally pretty smooth but can get harsh, bouncy at times, the DS seem to be more soft/smooth bouncy. I'm about 10 clicks from the top. I tried 15 clicks from the top and it basically was really smooth and not bouncy but since I do like to the hit the corners I stiffened up the clicks a bit. Might try to go even stiffer this weekend as last weekend I hit the canyons and my street/cruising setting was a bit softer than I liked.
Not sure if it helps but some vid of the canyon "bounce" for reference

I hope you enjoy them! I was really impressed with mine, I was expecting a harsher ride with the stiffer springs but it was way more compliant than I expected.
