Just bought my ISF. Swift springs a good start?
Anyone have any complaints about the swift springs? I'm looking to have them be my first upgrade.

The Swift springs were my first upgrade when I got my F and for the price you can't beat them for a first mod
and they get rid of that ugly *** gap that Lexus raised from pre-production. Second mod was an exhaust.........

Springs and Shocks should be mated together.
What year is your car?
How are the tires on it?

I ran swifts for a few years before switching to BC coils. Great first upgrade.

Definitely get shocks to go with the springs setup. They're like yin and yang

I would also suggest rr-racing USRS, put it on 6 months into ownership and wish I had done it the day I bought it.

Id do the USRS before the springs to spare the damn tires.
