Question for those with springs... do they shorten the life of the OEM shocks when they are in?

The picture of the Swift springs look really good; I'm not familiar with them.

A pic of your setup would be great. Like I said I am thinking to lower just the front.

These are all the pictures I have of them so far lol. FInally got some time to post them. The rear is about a 1 1/2 finger gap and the front is about a 2 finger gap. Running 245/35/19 in F and 275/30/19 R. Hope this gives you and idea what it looks like with Eibach front and OEM rear springs.

Anyone know if these part #8289.140 - Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs also will fit on the 2012 model IS F ?
I had contact with the product manager at Eibach, but he could not confirm whether the springs would fit vehicles manufactured after August 2011 when Lexus made ​​a change of springs and shock absorbers.

Some who have tried?

I'm in no way 100% sure, but I don't foresee them being any different then putting them on an 08-11my

I was wondering if anyone is running Eibach or any springs on the Vossens CV3. Trying to get an idea of how it would sit

so exactly, how bad is the camber wear in the front and rear if you run to the swift or eibach springs with out a camber kit? Inside of the tires go bald with in 10k miles? longer? shorter?
