since no one really buys swift for the 250/350... or seems like it, I pretty much bought them blindly and hoped for the best. Here some better pics I just went out to take, hopefully they help.

X Package with Swift Springs

Looks pretty legit to me. For springs that is. Those oem 18's? And the more important question, how's the ride ? vs stock? Any scraping going up/down driveways, speed bumps? Any more/less body roll, is it firmer than stock sport suspension?

oem 18s in nasty chrome lol. Ride is softer than X package springs on minor bumps, but on larger dips it is stiffer. Firm would be a good way to describe it. Ground clearance is still good though I angle everything anyway (habit from previous car). I can do speed bumps straight on with no problems, the usual driveways with no problem. Less body roll and turning is more responsive especially when you get on it in the turns. Basically it should have come like this from factory.

sorry to say but the drop looks crappy... front looks higher than rear so when youre driving it probably tucks even more.. =( H&R is the way to go

H&R progressive ? No way to get out of the Lexus lean, unless u go coils. I have a feeling swift springs would perform better than H&R. Regardless of what looks better.

I felt the same way too thus Swift. I don't mind the height right now since it's still better than stock but the handling aspect is night and day. It was like going from stock rear sway to F-Sport.
