Replace shocks?
Hi I'm planning on putting swift springs on my 2014 IS350 F-sport. My car has just over 85k miles on it. My question is, should I replace the shocks while I'm at it, or do you think it'll be fine. Car rides fine as far as I can tell, but i wasn't sure if it was something that needed to be replaced with current mileage

Personally, I fall in the camp of if I'm going to modify something, "while I'm in there" I'm ensuring other items are just as fresh. People should understand that shocks/struts go through a lot to ensure we have smooth rides, it's not just large bumps, it's all the micro adjustments they make even on what's considered smooth pavement.
You're more than welcome to reuse the old ones if you feel like the car drives well and they're not leaking, however you might not get the full benefit and better feel of the new ride height without replacing them. Totally up to you. I don't think many people will criticize you if you want to keep it a touch cheaper and keep rolling on the current shocks.
