Default 2012+ ISF Swift Lowering Spring anyone?

Did anyone drop their ISF with the Swift Spring #4T910? Can't find anything on the forum with the 12+. I was wondering how is the ride quality. I want a mild drop without sacrificing the ride's comfort.

Plenty of answers to this question can be found in the search function.
But yes, your ride quality will suffer on the '12+. Decent amount stiffer and more harsh across bumps/rough roads.
I personally didn't mind it because my car is normally only driven twice a month or so. Also, I felt the ride stock was wayyyy to smooth and comfortable for a "sports car", lol. Handling/turn in gets better lowered and looks/stance much better. Well worth the few slightly negative trade off.

^ what he said..

Many have done it, they're the best springs you can buy for your vehicle.

Contact us for more information. You might be local to us for a quick and easy pickup as well.

How does it compare to having BC Racing coilovers with the Swift Spring upgrade?

I have Swift Springs on my 2012, I don't know what the original stock suspension feels like but in my opinion, the ride is not harsh at all.
