Default Swift springs installed







In this last pic, the rear springs have yet to be installed... but in the other pics all 4 corners are done...

That's crazy I thought the NIA lip had a bigger fin. I don't really like the fin, but that's more subtle than I remember.

if you could, yeah full on profile shot would be great. I'm also team ultra white with seibon spoiler, so would be curious to see my future. Haha.

Looks great and they may even settle and be a little lower.

the front spoiler looks great! Just one advise that I wish I thought of before my CF one got damaged by the dealer during service, change your front camera setting to come on when you brake, it could save you front lip…you will be able to tell how close you are to object in front of you. I have mine on after the dealer replace the CF lip that they damaged. Now I don’t have to guess, like I had to before.

Yea I tried it out yesterday and I don't think it's quite for me at stock ride height right now. perhaps once it's lowered I'll reconsider.

It's looking really nice! I have 2 questions if you don't mind:
  1. Why did you choose Swift over Eibach? I personally have only ever bought Eibach (or H&R Springs) in the past and never heard of Swift. I'm just curious what's different about the Swifts.
  2. I noticed in your pics that your rear wheels are protruding outside of the wheel wells. Do you have any spacers on the rear wheels?
Thx.

Ok so I picked Swift because I wanted as close to a stock ride but just lower.. I have a coworker who has an IS500 and went for a ride in his car and was pleased on how it rode, I asked him what springs he installed.. He said Swift, I said bro, send me a link of the exact ones you go! lol.. Anyway its basically like sport or sport+ So its not a rough ride by any means...

And I do have spacers on all 4 wheels.. the front are 15mm and the back are 20mm. I am planning on getting 15mm for the rear because I think they stick out just a tiny bit to much.
