Your vehicle probably does not as a regular model unless it was available as an option. When you change modes you should feel the suspension stiffen up. You can also look at the front upper shock mount to see if theres an electronic module connected to it.

I'll check the front upper shock mount, thanks for the tip.
Actually on second thought, it is a premium version and I do feel it stiffen it up when I put it into sport mode, so maybe it is there (I bought the car recently used and the options paper didn't say)

Post some pictures when you have the coilovers dialed in, that car is gorgeous!

You know if the ride comfort is similar between swift springs and rsr downs? I was hoping for a 1 inch drop but I read that swift is about .8. There's no need for camber kits on these either right?

I have the exact same car. After doing some thorough research I decided to go with Tanabe NF210 Spring Kit because they give you the normal feel (NF) of your stock springs with a lower profile. I have not read one negative review of these springs so I think I'm good with these. I also decided to keep my factory rims but will get them refurbished and have a ceramic coat for protection applied to them. Then I will add H&R DRM 15 mm spacers (front) and 20mm (rear) to hopefully get that flush tire to fenders look all around my car.

You got a nice looker ride!

Really? Here I am waiting for their shipment to arrive in December. Couldn’t wait so I went with Rsr sports instead. Paid more but I’m thinking it will be worth it.

The base model lux package comes with AVS
