About two months ago you posted pictures and said that you had lowered using Tanabe's but had "removed a coil". Curious why the change of heart and anything else you could add there. It sounds like you are happy now and the car looks good.

Tanabe was great. But it was the springs for the GS when nothing was available yet. I wanted something specifically made for the RC350. Plus I couldnt pass the offer of free swift springs for R&D

Do you have pictures of the drop you had with the cut Tanabe's? I have the Tanabe's on my car now and want to go lower, but mainly in the rear. Depending on how it looked, and if you still have them, I might take them off your hands for you.

So Swift did my Springs. Again this is the Spec R "Track" Spring so the spring rates are higher than the other companies. Rides like stock when in ECO or Normal mode. Slightly Stiffer. When in Sport Modes it is very stiff and rides amazing. Not so stiff where you bounce all over the place but it is noticeably stiffer. Corners amazing and everything else you can imagine with a performance spring. Drop is 1 inch in rear and 1.2-1.4 in front. The front sits lower then rear and looks just how I wanted. Here is some quick pictures on my iphone. Tried to filter so its easier to see. I will take better photos later at all angles and update. Any questions feel free to ask. Talked with the swift executive that was out there to test my car and he said should be released in July after I give them feedback after a few weeks of driving.
