Default The legendary SWIFT SPRINGS!

Being that there aren't too many good options for coilovers, I opted for springs and found out that Swift had some springs so I hit up my good friend Mod in Japan and he got me the springs the next day. One word for the springs: quality. We all know Swift is one of the better known brands so I can't wait to see how the 250 handles after this. Getting the springs installed tomorrow at the infamous Tommy @ Music Box. More input on it tomorrow, but for now... Teasers and pictures.

The drop is 1.1" inches in the front and rear. I'll make sure to take before and after pictures.

That's awesome. These cars look great with a little bit of a drop. Very tempting to do but I'm still concerned how it affects the AWD version of the IS350 non F-sport.

Springs should not affect anything the AWD capability of the car. The only problem you may run into is ground clearance, but this is a very moderate drop so you should not run into that issue anyways.

Nice!!!! Can't wait to see pics when the springs have settled in. I'm looking into getting these for my 350.

Will the springs ruin/wear our the factory shocks? I hear different things from both sides?
