Much better than the Tein H-tech even if they have the same spring rate specs and drop, after 2 days of driving it drives like stock, I used the f-sport bilstein shocks so due to the stiffness of the shocks the performance is there on the corners on free way turnpikes and exits.
Just a question on swift users since the advertised drop spec is .8'' frt and .6'' drop on the IS250 and 1'' frt and 8'' drop on the IS350, currently I am using the GSE22 IS300 Asia Spec. How low is the drop up front, will the springs settle or it will settle on the rubber seatings and mounts since my current wheel gap (using the finger method) 2 loose fingers on the front and 2 fitted fingers on the rear as the reference for the height.
here is the initial pic after the install

how much additional drop do the springs settle into their upper and lower mounts? according to swift when I emailed them they will even out in time as you drive the car?

I guess the ride was slightly stiffer with the 19s but the car felt more planted. I did go from 225/255 to 235/275 tires, could be also a factor."
I just bought (f) 19x8.5 @35mm / (r) 19x10 @40mm rims and was aiming for the same tires, 235/275. With the swift springs did you get any rub or have to do any modifications with that fitment? This is an important consideration I have for getting springs, as I may have to change tires?
Anyone else running something similar with input?
