Default SwiftSprings for 15 IS350 f-sport

I could say these springs are awesome! rides great got it installed in speedelement in San Jose

Ride 9.5 out of 10 - No joke, rode home around 60miles from SJ to Vallejo and it rides great, also the back road behind Speedlement was really bad with all bumps, potholes, un-eveness and railroad crossing.

Performance 8.0 out of 10 - almost the same but a little stiffer so it reduced body roll a little

Drop/Looks 9.0 out of 10 - still looks good even all around 2 fingers gap, 1.1'' all around, in the middle of RS-R halfdown and Tanabe NF/RSR Downs

Some Pix

Looks really nice! The way it should've come from factory.
Still debating between F-Sports and Swift for next year... Had the Swifts on my Evo and they were nice! But keeping the warranty intact is also nice...

Looks just like my car.

The Springs do handle very well and honestly, the springs drop looks perfect in real life! Happy Modding!!

Just about the perfect stance IMO.

How does your alignment look now? What is the max front and rear camber? Trying to decide if these or the F-Sport springs are worth the upgrade (performance standpoint).

I'm leaning towards these springs now. a review has been posted about the f sport springs and the member stated that the drop was not noticeable (although they're reserving a true eval upon settling). but if the swift springs look like those pics above after install, that's a noticeable drop from jump and will probs lower another .5" or so. damn near perfect to me.

It has a great drop for springs and its linear, was in a pickle between this and the Tanabe NF's but the Tanabe's are too low for my daily drive (Tanabe's have the lower drop up front), I already scrape my lower bumper flaps with this in some parking ramps.

I did not have to get an alignment after my Swift drop. There is no difference in alignment. Although it is recommended to get it done after getting suspension work done!

Loving this drop. Most likely my preferred height. How will it look with 19s? Will it rub or have enough clearance?
