Never heard of that company but that drop looks pretty low for Front Drop: 0.8" and Rear Drop: 0.6"

Yep... once I get mine, I'm all for Swift Springs! I love my swift springs on my coils.

Does anyone have these already?

And if those numbers are based on the f-sport, when they are installed on a non f-sport, it will actually be dropping the car more since I believe the f-sport comes lower than the non f-sport (I don't know this as fact, but it's what I have read in various places).
The end result should be the same, but the numbers will read as a lower drop for the non f-sport.
Again, that's only if these numbers are based on the f-sport.

I had a set of swift springs on my S2000 and loved them. I may go for these instead of the F-Sport Springs. Since my GS is AWD and the drop won't be as aggressive it may help ease some of the issues people are reporting about lowering AWD Lexus.

if you install these on AWD the drop will differ from RWD of course... but the springs will cause drivetrain vibrations. no thanx, i'll pass.

You can still get Swift Spring with the same ride height. Swift Springs are upgrades for sure. It's not an expensive upgrade either. If anyone removes their oem springs... I'd like to get some measurement on them or have them sent to swift north america for measurement.

found this dyno on swift springs.

I think it will make that GS-F sport that much better. It's worth it to use the best springs for our gs.

My brother is running Swift springs on his 370Z and they ride like stock. Definitely a good spring if you want a mild drop with low cost.
