Swift Springs for 2011
#16
My opinion differs from a few here on CL, but I have the Bilstein B6/Swift combo and have zero complaints with that combination. I know it's highly subjective on how someone perceives ride quality but compared to the Swift/OEM spring combo the Bilsteins were night and day difference in ride quality compared to the Tokico shocks!! For the money/value quotient you can't beat Bilsteins in general weather or not they are paired with swift springs or not IMO....

11 with Swift’s. I just checked and my part number is the 06 as well.
I felt they rode awesome for stock suspension and a spring combo. I just needed full adjustability with how aggressive of a wheel setup I went with so opted for the Greddys after a couple years on the Swifts.
If id of stuck with stock wheels the B6/Swift combo likely would have been just fine for a daily.

I'm hoping someone with a 2011 (or anybody that knows) could help me out. I'm considering Swift springs and Bilstein B6's but I'm not sure which set of springs to go with. According to Fig's website PN 4T906 is for 2008-2010's and PN 4T910 is for 2012+. 2011 is suspiciously missing. Anyone have any idea why?

Arguably the best bang for your buck coilovers at that price segment. Especially for the prices the vendors are giving out.
Much better control and feel. I don’t track this car, but beat on it pretty rigorously up in the hills and over the passes during the summer time. It’s felt very controlled having my cruise control set in triple digits through corners.
We have pretty decent roads here which helps. The only thing you will notice, among all coilovers using aftermarket upper mounts, is the road noise transfer. Sharp imperfections will be heard. Similar to when you upgrade to the RR LCA’s.

You can use 4T906 if you have a 2011. Lexus changed the suspension starting 2012 because of the feedback from customers that the suspension was too stiff for daily driving. 4T910 was re engineered by swift to accommodate the new suspension (softer) but they actually raised the spring rates to get some performance back in to the 2012 -2014. Hope that helps
Out of curiosity, anyone know the stock spring rates for the various years for comparison?

Great advice. Only once in my life have I gotten a suspension perfect. It was my 2001 Acura CL Type S with Comptech lowering springs and Koni yellow adjustable shocks. The adjustability of the Konis basically allowed you to make the ride any way you wanted it and everything was stock quiet. The ride on the RR Road and tracks is great, but I’m quickly tiring of the noise and constantly wondering if something is wrong with them or not.

Weapon F, what size tires will you run on 18s? I’m going with 265/40/18 front summer tires and 285/35/18 rear drag radials. I’m considering selling all my 19s simply because of sidewall height. I like protection from road and a smooth ride. I also run stock 13 suspension for the same reasons.

I chose 285 since it’s a drag radial . Need a little wrinkle in my life. Plus a 295 would rub on my new wheels. We are on the same page as far as tire height for cushion goes. I’m over short tires.
