Coilovers for 05 lexus ls430
I'm in the market for coilovers and I decided to go with bc extreme low with swift springs instead of godspeed MAXX.
Will the swift springs be worth it considering my 430 is my daily driver. Heard some things about the swift springs not being so daily friendly and some saying it's worth it.
I know I should be going with bags but right now I'm really not feeling it since it's my daily driver still and I'm not ready to drop like 5k.

I went with the standard bc springs and no complaints. I can't remember the spring rate I chose, but either way they ride great
I'm now considering air and will likely use the bc bodies for a bag over coil setup, which should come in cheaper than a full air strut set

Nice, quick question. I can always upgrade to swift springs later on if I ordered my bc coils without them?

I daily mine with BC extreme lows, front springs are 12mm/kg and rears are 10mm/kg, not swift springs. It is fine for daily use however I carpool with up to 4 people so I chose slightly stiffer springs, it is definitely firm when I am by myself in the car and more 'factory soft' feeling when I have 4 people in the car. It also depends how low you want to sit, I leant towards stiffer so I could go lower and avoid scraping over bumps as much as possible.
