Looks like the Swifts lowered the car about the same as Tanabe NF210s.

Very nice! That looks a bit lower than I'd expect, given that the Swifts advertise a ~ 0.8" drop. Looks good! I'm still very interested in getting some Swifts once I either get an inordinate amount of time to DIY or find a place I trust to help me with the install.

They're all about the same amount of drop.

you will not regret the swift springs...after driving it around immediately after the drop, the handling and control was the exact same...
