Default Tein or Swift springs

Hi guys, I just bought a 2013 IS-F last weekend and I want to lower it with some springs. I'm gonna hold off on the adjustable coilovers for now since the dampers are so new and I just want a mild drop. Both Tein and Swift advertise to lower the ride height by 1.0" front and .6" rear which I think is perfect for what I want. Which springs do you guys think I should go with? Thanks in advance for any input
BTW, I was told by somebody at TEIN that the 2013 IS-F has some suspension changes and the lowering springs for the older ones don't fit, not sure if I believe that.

Thanks,
Ron

Swift Sport Springs are the only ones out there that offer lowering springs for years 2012 - 2013. I have Swift Sport Springs on my 2012 here is my thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...g-options.html.

PM FIGS for the best deal on the forum!

I have TEIN on my 2008 and I love it. The ride is firm, car handles like its on rails. Waaay better than stock. Also, when the springs settled, its going to be more than .6 in rear. My car is tucking all around.

Thanks for the reply guys. And thanks for the link, 1SexyLexus. I am definitely leaning towards just getting springs for now. I don't really see the need to get adjustable coilovers now. My LS has TEIN Comfort sport and the supra has TEIN mono flex and love the ride quality on both The IS-F will get coilovers someday, just want to get other stuff for it now, like front lip and window tint
