First of all, special thanks for Louie at Mod in Japan for giving me the best deals in the market, suggesting various options for mods, technical guidance, and super responsive customer services through text and emails. I highly recommend him to everyone here, and he ships fast!
Anyway, After my APEXi catback and SmartAccel installation, it's time to do some suspension works. By the way, I got both Apexi non-resonated and resonated installed and tested, I will post a video comparison and review a little later, stay tuned. I am also selling my Non-resonated mid-pipe, so pm me for those of you interested.
So I got the swift spring and H&R spacer installed yesterday, thought I would want to share this set up with everyone. The spec is 1.3" front + 20mm spacer and 1.0" rear + 15 mm spacer. The car looks really mean now with the perfect stance, I saw people taking picture for my car on a parking lot when I was walking out of the grocery store, that's the moment you know you did it right, lol.
As far as handling goes, the car definitely felt more planted to the ground with improved cornering ability. Also, the cars feels more stable at high speed.
Also had the USRS from RR-Racing installed, review will follow.
Here are some pics, enjoy guys!

Lastly, special thanks to Auto Science at Lewisville, TX for the installation, nice work at a fair price!
Great looking car and stance! Just what I was looking for and just reaffirms me that 19's with good offsets on swift springs drop is perfect. Also would like to know how ride is after install as well.

The ride is similar to stock, comfy but firmer. You can definitely turn in with much more confidence, because the car felt more planted on the ground. I really liked it, good balance between luxury and performance.
Looks very nice. How's the ride comfort compared to normal height?
Thank you. The car still rides comfortable, but with obvious improvement on handling, I.e less body roll, better turn in etc. under normal driving, it's just a little firmer than the stock. You won't regret it.
I need to hopefully have my H&R spacers I got from josh installed..where yours bolt on or stud replacements? I have the ones where the studs replace factory if you have the same about how long did it take and any pains? thanks!

The H&R come with extended studs. And yes, extended studs are needed for my set up. I would assume if you get a thinner spacer, you may get away with it. Hope this helps.
Is your alignment out of spec? Concern about the camber and uneven wear.
i just re-aligned per the 2016 spec, don't know if it's gonna have uneven spec. But that's the last thing I would worry about if you are going to tune your car.
