How much were the springs and how much did they charge you to install them?

I'll let you know in a couple of weeks. So far I'm impressed the ride hasn't changed at all to me. I always ride in sport+ anyway. It does hug the road better I've went on some dips and bumps and haven't had any rubbing or scraping. What I noticed is the ride is similar to stock if you have driven it in sport+. I rode in a Lexus with tanabes and I didn't like how soft the suspension was. I was shocked to come on here and see so many people get the tanabe over the swift. Of course the price has a lot to do with it. But the drop is perfect to me I can't wait to see after it settles a little bit.

It should be fixed under factory warranty since your car mileage is very low ...
