Hows the ride comfort on these springs with your AWD? Any vibration in seat or steering wheel? Is it like stock?

Installed the Swift Sport Springs this past Friday and the installer told me to wait about 1 week before getting the alignment done with the factory OEM wheels, and then place the custom 20"'s on. Does this sound about right? Did anyone notice this springs to settle or sag after the install. I have already noted the 1" drop as advertised, esp in the rear and my pics look very much like ToMs2jz's. Will post before/after pics this weekend after the 4-wheel alignment from the Lexus dealer on Saturday.

Thanks Toms! You made me jealous so I just ordered them for delivery in few days.

As for the swift springs I am still hesitant to get it for my AWD in fear of vibration and making the ride more firmer than it is. You have to convince me more.

Was it that pronounced before the spring install? The rear appears to have been lowered more than the front. I have these springs on order but I might not install them if that rake to the back is what I'll be getting. Thanks for the pictures!!

I too got my alignment done this past Saturday 4/6 after riding on the Swift Sport Springs for 1 week and 2 days. The tech also informed me that if I wanted to get the Front Caster adjusted to match the left side, I had to purchase a part from Lexus...otherwise, the steering would drift slightly to the right. Has anyone ever heard of this? I had noted the car would pull slightly to the right even before I lowered the car with the Sport Springs.

Be careful with cutting the springs...but anyhow, pic of the cut springs ... I just got my swift today, don't know when I'll get to put it on.


How much to cut to get another .25 -.50 inches?
