Default Swift vs RSR Down

I have read almost every thread about lowering springs, I have yet to come across one about swift vs RSR down springs on a F Sport. on RSRs site they list a drop for the f sport specifically, this information isn’t as transparent on Swift’s site. I have seen pictures and heard of user’s accounts, but no Data showing f sport with swift springs, please someone point me to where I can find this information, thanks

I have swift on my gs and love it. I first had tanabe but it made the car sit to low swift gives it a nice mild drop so it doesn’t look like a full on low rider. I drove to Oklahoma from SF Bay Area with swift spring with no problems at all.

Swift are great for the Fsport as well as the base.

Contact us for pricing!

The drop on swift springs .8 for both f sport and non f sport?

Is there a drop difference like rsr springs where the down drops the non f sport more than the f sport.

Bump. Also want to hear more about RSR vs Swift in drop height and rise quality.

Do you think the Swift springs work with a 2016 Lexus GS200t? If I were to get springs, should I get performance shocks/struts to help with ride comfort?

Thanks!

Springs are fine themselves until your car has lot of miles later.. 80k+.

Swift springs should work on the 200t that work on the GS350.

Let me know if you'd like a set.

I am just worried that it does not specifically say it is for a 2016 GS200t.

Yes most springs are for GS350/Gs200t, theres no GS200T specific spring.

How is the ride quality compared to stock springs? I got RSRs and the ride was very harsh. I was thinking about the Swift. I've got 2016 GS350 F sport

Most reviews say the RSRs feel much like stock. Do you have the Downs or Super Downs? RWD or AWD?

I was told those are RSR Downs. The springs have RSR logo on them. Based on the drop I don’t think these are Super Downs. But the ride is harsh on highways and bad roads. On a smooth roads these are bouncy.

I have 2016 FSport RWD

RSR downs and new KYBs feel just like stock to me. I did tie rods, strut mounts, stabilizer links, and ball joints at the same time. Car rides like its brand new.
